For traditional art portfolios, emphasis is often placed on skill in drawing from direct observation of live 3-dimensional objects (i.e. life drawing).
- Include 10 to 20 works completed recently
- Drawing samples - Include self-portraits, figure drawings, object studies, still lifes and landscapes.
- At least half of the portfolio should consist of drawing from direct observation.
- Color theory - Demonstrate use of color in painting, printmaking, drawing, and/or collage work.
- Three-dimensions - Include strong examples of composition, light, form, and spatial relations.
- Digital work should be kept to a minimum.
- Past work can be included, but it is more important to submit work that represents current skills and experiences.
- Do not include such things as anime, tattoo designs, dragons, unicorns, etc.
- Never copy directly from another artist
- Submitting work simply to show a range of mediums (such as one charcoal, one pastel, one watercolor, etc) is not recommended if it sacrifices consistency of quality.
These are sample exercises:
- Select three to five objects that are familiar to you. Arrange them together, then draw them using line and tone.
- Make a free-hand drawing of one corner of a room in your home. Include at least three pieces of furniture.
- Create a self-portrait in any medium. Do not refer to a photograph.
- Using "nature" as a theme, create a collage by tearing images from a magazine and pasting them on a sheet of paper.
- Visually interpret and express the word "connection" in a drawing of any medium.
