Artist Statement:
What inspires you to make your art?
Why are you applying to the Character Animation program at CalArts?
What are your artistic goals?
Online Portfolio:
Part 1: Observational Artwork (minimum of 15 total)
A. Observational life drawings of human models:
These observational drawings should range from short pose lengths (gesture drawings) to longer pose lengths, and should indicate the models’ faces, hands and feet. Drawings of nude models are preferred, but costume drawings may also be included. Applicants in the Character Animation program must have demonstrated experience working with the live model and ideally have at least one year’s worth of experience studying figure/life drawings.
B. Observational drawings from real life:
Drawings and sketches of people and animals from real life
Drawings of interior and exterior environments
Urban sketching, location drawings, café drawings etc.
Keep in mind:
Drawings should be from observing real life, exploring elements such as shape, form, contour, contrast, ambiance, and mood.
Do not erase all of your construction lines while drawing from life – they are especially helpful to the faculty in understanding your approach to observational drawings.
Do not submit traced pictures or copies of work by others.
Part 2: Other Creative Work
Include any combination of the following:
Sequential image storytelling: Work that showcases your ability to tell a story and develop a character. For example: storyboards, graphic novels, flipbooks, short animations or short stories with thumbnails.
Digital creative work (animated or still): Creative work that you produce, or manipulate, in one or more computer programs. This might take the form of 2D digital art, illustrations, concept art, character designs, prop designs, cartoons, photography, or computer graphics (CG).
Other Work (non-digital): Paintings, drawings, illustrations, concept art, character designs, prop designs, cartoons
Plastic Arts: Sculptures, ceramics, installations etc.
Online presence: provide URL’s to your blog(s), Tumblr, Instagram, website etc. List the URL’s in the SlideRoom “links” section of the online portfolio.
Part 3: Video Introduction
As we look at your work, we would very much like to meet you. Since this would be impossible in practical terms, we ask that you send a brief video, introducing yourself.
Duration: minimum of 30 seconds, maximum of 90
seconds
Speak directly to the camera

Please draw directly in a sketchbook.
Drawings in your sketchbooks should be different than the drawings submitted in your online portfolio.
We receive sketchbooks in many different shapes and sizes. Please feel free to work in the type of sketchbook that you like best.
