FREE Video Tutorial – Building a Better Portfolio

You can watch it HERE. 

Instructor: Tim Von Rueden

In our industry today, your portfolio is your strongest asset in landing you a job. So let’s work on making it the best one possible to show off your current ability and skill level in a presentable, organized manner. There are common mistakes that I see constantly repeated when I review portfolios and throughout this lesson I let you know how to avoid them. 

I also include how you should present yourself in person and with your online presence. Persistence and Tenacity are key when on the hunt to land a job in this industry, whether you are an in-house concept artist or a traveling freelancer.

So get out there and start building the best portfolio you can!

You bored, or feeling artsy but don’t have any inspiration…? *updated!*

Do you need to distract yourself? Or are you simply bored? Here are some great websites to make the time pass.

Still haven’t found something that would float your boat? 

Try these:

Maybe none of these peeked your interest. Maybe you’ve been wanting to create an o.c, but never really knew how to start, or you just enjoy making O.C’s.

Hell, maybe you have a Gemsona/Transformers/Southpark character that you want to create, but don’t have the energy to draw!

This  part of this list is specifically for OCs and Oc building. It can also apply to developing RP characters~

TMNT STUFFS;

skeletaldrawing:

A theropod limb moving without violating its anatomy. Notice the knee never straightens, and the ankle doesn’t flex past 90 degrees on the recovery. Perhaps most importantly for animators, notice that the toes are really important for driving the animal forward in the last 1/3 of the stride as they push off – the reason most made-for-TV dinosaur specials have dinosaurs that look like they lack mass (or worse, are floating along the ground) is because riggers and animators want to skip the toes to save time, which basically means they are cutting off a third of the propulsive stroke (and often break other joints in the process).

appoggiatura:

Hello everyone! A lot of people have been asking be about how layer mask works, so I thought I’d create a really quick intro/guide to using layer masks on Paint Tool SAI! 

You can download the files here 

The file is available for free (if you enter $0 in the price!)

If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message here or on twitter

Depending on how well this one does, I will make severl other guides in the future about different layer functions and such on different drawing programs! Leave a comment on the post or message me to let me know which you are interested in learning! :3
