Update! (and requests semi-open)

:iconsacari:

Well, it's been a while since I've posted an update, so I figured it's time to write one. If you want more frequent updates, you should probably follow my twitter or my tumblr

This year has been crazy so far, it's my third year at Sheridan! I've been pretty much doing school work and nothing else, the amount work that's been piled on is ridiculous, but I'm really enjoying this year at the same time. Sadly, I've barely had any time for personal work :(

I'm confirmed to be doing Artist's Alley and Con-G in February! So if anyone's planning to attend, be sure to check out my table, I'm sharing with *michellescribbles , come buy our stuff =P
I'm planning on doing a bunch of new fan art and really preparing for this con, does anyone have any requests? I'll draw them! (has to be from an actual series, no OCs please unless it's a commission! I need to be able to sell it at the con...)

Also, if you want to support me, check out my etsy shop or commission me! =D

Hi, Sarah!

I don't mean to bother you, but, I'm a second year student at Sheridan.I graduated from Fundies and got into VCA since, I didn't make it the second round of applying to Illustration. I was, however, waitlisted.. so I guess you could say I'm still skeptical in applying for a third time.

Especially since, I'm turning 20 this year and this year's Fundies students have raised the bar A LOT higher... I feel kinda old =3="

ANYWAY, [sorry for the rambling!] I was hoping if you could help me.. I actually don't really have much of the drawing test. I have scraps really... [PANICKING] I don't consider what I have so far as pieces. I do have sketchbook work and wish to fill it up some more.

Thank You so Much for taking the time to read this.

Sincerely,

Leah.

Hi!

Don't feel old, haha, I'd say the average age of people in first year was actually 21-22 :3

What exactly do you need help with? The drawing test is pretty straightforward.. I'd be happy to take a look at what you have if you post it up on dA or something :)

Hello! I'm sorry for the delay, getting overwhelmed!

Thank you for replying!

Whaa Seriously?!! O.o

Thank you so much for your help! I really wish I could put my stuff up now =3= my friend had my camera, she needed to take photos for her portfolio!
I just wanted to see what you thought of on my drafts. I was getting so paranoid that I ended up asking random people >w<

I hope to get it up soon, otherwise, please wish me luck, and I hope to see you around! =]

Hi. :) This might sound weird coming from a random stranger, but...

I see you're an illustration major at Sheridan. I'm considering going there for illustration myself and I'm wondering if you can give me any information about the program? Is it worth going?

Thanks a lot. :D

Hey! :D

Illustration is hard to get into, and it's a pretty heavy course load, but it is an awesome program! I'd definitely consider it worth it, I feel like in the 1.5 years I've been in it, I've improved a lot more than I ever could have on my own. If there's any specific questions you have I'd be happy to answer them! :)

And also, I don't know if you've heard of conceptart.org, but there's a great thread on there with sheridan information: [link]

Awesome. :D

What is the portfolio review like? Do they talk to you about the strengths and weaknesses of your work and is it intimidating?

What about the courses themselves? What is an average day in class like?

I know its a lot of questions, but I hope you can answer them, because I really want to know from someone with the experience. :)

Portfolio was stressful to put together, but the actual review isn't that intimidating. I'm from Ottawa, so I actually just mailed my portfolio in and then got a score sheet in the mail about a month later. If you're within 100km, you just bring your portfolio to the school, drop it off for a few hours, wait around, then pick it up again. Then you get your score sheet in the mail about a month later as well. You don't really get feedback on your work, just an overall score and whether you're accepted or not. I'd really recommend attending national portfolio day (closest is at OCAD)! Reps from Sheridan and a bunch of other schools show up there, and you get some one on one time and feedback on your work. [link]

You can actually check out what the courses are here: [link]
First year is alot of basics, to get everyone on the same level and get your skills refined, 2nd year you explore alot, 3rd year is figuring out your style and the 4th year is portfolio work. (in a nutshell...) Classes are usually 3 hours long, you have one or two a day. Studio classes like painting and life drawing are usually all in class, you do the assignment in class then it gets handed in at the end. Other classes have quite a bit of homework, and you usually have to take either one "breadth" or one "elective" per semester, stuff like English and psychology. You also have one computers class per semester, atleast for the first 2 years, and you learn stuff like Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.

Wow that was long >.<
