How to make an art portfolio. Creating characters for games

Twitter

Are you thinking about how to present your artwork for an art gallery, art institute or potential employer? A well-crafted art portfolio is in a great way present your best creations and demonstrate your own skills. Your portfolio should speak for itself, bringing together your qualities of professionalism, passion and personality, and showcasing your best works. It will create the first impression of you, so it should somehow stand out from the rest of your portfolio. In your portfolio, you must show interested parties what your talent is, how you are different from other applicants, and why they should choose you and not someone else.

Steps

Part 1

Selecting works for a portfolio

Please review the portfolio requirements. Every organization is different, so they may have different requirements for the content of the portfolio or the format used in it. Also, your portfolio will largely depend on what course of study or what career you decide to choose for yourself.

Select completed and unfinished works for your portfolio (depending on your specific requirements). Usually for admission to professional educational establishments You are required to provide completed works, but in some cases you may be asked to show unfinished works in order to evaluate the immediate process of preparation and development of works.

Include works drawn from life in your portfolio. They will confirm your ability to perceive and reflect objects on paper real life. Drawings and paintings from life can be an essential part of your portfolio.

Highlight your best works. If you've been drawing for long enough, you probably have a wide variety of work, ranging from excellent and good to average and very bad. Sometimes it’s tempting to include in your portfolio not only your best work, but just good work. However, it would be wise to refrain from doing this. You need to show only the best works that accurately and without a doubt reflect the quality, your abilities, skill and creativity.

Ask a friend to look at your work. Once you've selected your favorite pieces for your portfolio, ask a friend or mentor to look at them and give you their opinion on the pieces you've chosen.

Some of your work may require reworking or revision, so make sure you have enough time to perfect your work before you submit your portfolio.
After selecting works for your portfolio, wait a while and return to them after rethinking your approach a little. It is very important to give yourself this time, as it will allow you to evaluate your works better and less biased.
Sometimes even friends can be biased towards your work, so sometimes it is useful to involve someone from the outside with whom you do not have a close relationship. In addition, it will be easier to accept constructive criticism from such a person.
Learn to accept constructive criticism with gratitude: understand that it is not an insult or belittles your dignity, but allows you to improve as an artist.

Include in portfolio Additional information about articles, publications and awards. In some cases this is not required, so again, check the portfolio requirements. However, know that such information is useful in demonstrating that your work is valued and has been presented to the public before.

Part 2
Portfolio creation
1. Use other people's portfolios as examples. The best way To start working on a project like portfolio development, find other people's successful portfolios online and use them as an example for yourself. This doesn't mean you need to copy the format or follow someone else's portfolio exactly. Use other people's portfolios as a guide for creating your own.
  
  Tailor your portfolio to the organization you are creating it for. Universities or art galleries may have their own own opinion about what they want to see in the portfolio, or how it should be styled. It is very important to start compiling and structuring your portfolio taking into account the audience it is intended for.
2. Organize your work for your portfolio. Group your pieces by style, theme, materials used, technique, or the like. You need to make your search as easy as possible important information for people who will review your portfolio and determine your professional suitability. The easiest way to achieve this is by properly organizing your portfolio. Your portfolio should tell a story about you.
  - Group your work according to the materials used. It is useful to demonstrate work with a portfolio different materials to show your comprehensive development and ability to work in various artistic directions. It doesn't hurt to group your work with different materials into groups so that your portfolio clearly reflects your varied skills and ability to use different materials in your work. For example, you can combine pastels into one group, then create a group of drawings with simple pencils and charcoal, then combine your works with paints.
  - Group your work by topic. Another way to group is by subject, which will likely include works made using a variety of materials, but will reflect your ability to accurately depict very different things. For example, you can group works by images of people, landscapes, abstract paintings, and so on.
  - Group the work by technique. This grouping is similar to grouping by materials used, but it emphasizes your ability to work not only with paper, but also with digital media, photography, web design, animation, and so on.
  - Use a scrapbooking pad or binder (all of which can be found at a craft store) to bind and display your creations.
3. Keep it simple. Being an artist, you may want to get creative and make your portfolio very extravagant. While this approach is good for the work itself, the portfolio that contains it should look professional, organized and simple.
  - This is due to the fact that you do not need to overload your portfolio with design and distract the viewer’s attention from the work you have completed. You must ensure that the focus remains on your artwork, because that is what you are trying to showcase.
  - Take a measured approach to compiling your portfolio. Don't include too many works on one page or overdo the amount of descriptive information.
4. Try to stand out, but without excess. In the extremely competitive field of fine art, it is important that your work stands out. You can't afford to be lumped in with the hundreds of other people who have also submitted their portfolios, so try to create a portfolio that showcases your work in an artful and creative way that won't go unnoticed.
  - However, be careful not to overdo it. If your attempts to stand out from others result in you creating something tasteless or seem like a failed attempt at humorous effect, then you may go unnoticed or be noticed, but in a negative way.
  - The advantage of a portfolio is that it is more than a piece of paper like a resume. Your work truly speaks volumes about who you are and allows the employer to gain better understanding your creativity than from a dry written description of skills.
  - Don't overthink your portfolio. Once you've finished working on it, ask your mentor for feedback on it. Review your portfolio yourself several times to make sure it is well organized and get rid of possible errors, then leave him alone. Constantly trying to fix something to make a portfolio “memorable” can lead to a decrease in its external professionalism.
5. Create a virtual portfolio. Although it is convenient to have a portfolio of your actual work in hand, having a virtual copy of the portfolio will be useful for sending your portfolio online to interested parties, which is what is required in most cases.
  - Film or scan your work. After selecting works for your portfolio, use a good camera to photograph your works, or ask a professional to do so. Make sure your photos are clear and high quality, allowing you to view your work in good resolution. When taking photographs, use a room with ideal lighting without unnecessary glare and never use a flash. When scanning your work, make sure that the paper is not wrinkled and lies flat in the scanner - this will allow you to get accurate digital copies of your drawings.
  - Bring these images into Indesign or another program that allows you to easily create and edit a portfolio.
  - A virtual portfolio will not only serve as a digital copy of your work to be sent over the Internet, but will also serve as a backup in case your real work is lost or destroyed.
  Part 3
  Preparing to showcase your portfolio
  1. Practice your portfolio presentation. If you have the opportunity to present your portfolio in person, it is important to rehearse your presentation. This way, you'll know exactly what to say about each submission and how to effectively explain what makes your work different and what makes it valuable.
    - After you've practiced your presentation a few times on your own, present to a friend or mentor who can evaluate your presentation and your approach to describing your work.
    - Again, your work should still speak for itself. When presenting a portfolio, you don’t need to go into all the details, explaining every detail - in most cases everything should be clear without unnecessary words. However, you may have works that were inspired by some significant event or something valuable to you. If so, take the opportunity to show the creativity and passion behind such work.
    - Constantly ask yourself, “Is this all really mine?” Your work should reflect you and your passions, so when updating and revising your portfolio, make sure it tells the story you want to convey.
  - The field of fine art is highly competitive, so you will need to go through a lot of exhibitions with your work to achieve recognition and become a leader. Never despair!
  - Don't limit yourself to drawing only in class. Draw with a pencil, paints and create in Everyday life! It's the kind of work that really interests those assessing your portfolio, as it reflects who you are. real interests, passions and creativity that transcend the demands of teachers and the learning environment.
  - When comparing your work to others, remember that your goal is not to make your work look exactly the same, but to continually improve your talent and develop your artistic skills.
  - Don't settle for free creation paintings solely for the sake of being exhibited. Do it for the love of fine art.
  - Try to replenish your portfolio with new works. This will demonstrate the experience gained and the improvement of skills.

Darina created her own expressive image, which is distinguished by its originality. And done on my own.

It took Darina 30 minutes to complete this work. Inspired and amazed by what he saw (The dolphins swam very close to the boat) she immediately sketched out a drawing. I chose my favorite gouache as a drawing material.

CONCLUSION:

We can confidently say that a variety of techniques contributes to the expressiveness of images in children's works. Darina boldly takes on art materials, she is not afraid of diversity and the prospect of independent choice. She takes great pleasure in the process of doing it. She is ready to repeat this or that action many times. And the better the movement turns out, the more pleasure she repeats it, as if demonstrating her success, and they rejoice, attracting the adult’s attention to her achievements. Drawing helps you understand the world around you. With the help of drawings, Darina expresses her experiences and impressions.

Classes visual activities awaken emotional responsiveness, instill in children a sense of beauty, form hard work, develop perception, thinking, attention, memory, imagination, curiosity.

I will be very glad if this material is useful to someone!

Recently there was a discussion on Twitter between several seniors and top artists about what can and cannot be added to a character artist's portfolio. As a hiring manager in my department, in this article I express my own opinion and share it with others. This article also assumes that you are familiar with the basics of game art terminology.

Basics: Breakdown shots for your character.

Typically, for a character in game art, this item includes the following:

— A presentation shot that shows a character from different angles, usually in perspective or from the side. If it is important to show the character’s character, then the most suitable pose is selected for this. But, thanks to professional experience, I can say that in this case you will need to have a large number of pose options, so it is optimal to immediately put the character in a T-pose.

— A breakdown shot of the character model shows his “framework” and some already applied textures. It is important for us to see how well you understand the topology of the game asset. Again, through professionalism, we know that this additional breakdown is not always possible due to non-disclosure agreements, but for personal work it is required.

— A shot of a high-poly asset. It shows the detail of your asset.

— Additional shots (beautiful dynamic shots, close-up etc.) However, you can show the main thing with three main shots.

Navigation: Keep your site simple!

Beautiful, sophisticated websites with animation and loading screens are not at all necessary. I'm interested in the quality of your work, not an impressive website. The same goes for navigation: I just want to click on the gallery and have direct access to your work. The services that best cope with this task are Artstation and Behance.

Exclusively Zbrush: Well... you're halfway there, apparently.

When hiring, I encounter this biggest problem.
To be honest, I don't really care what's on your resume. If I only see sculptures in your portfolio, I will immediately assume that you are only familiar with half the workflow. You may be great at texturing, retopology, etc., but in the past I've hired people with the same situation (amazing resume, but only sculpts in the portfolio) and they were rarely able to perform well in other stages. Different companies have different requirements for their employees. There may be a few that hire artists just for sculpting.

In our team, we want artists to be able to create a character, from sketching in a notebook to a finished asset. We do not have separate texture artists, hair artists or sculptors. Everyone is responsible for the entire character.

But it's not just about how well you can texture or create a finished character. It's about how well you understand the details of the job and the tools. Some artists have worked in the PlayStation 2 era, but they must be able to use and understand current relevant technology. There will always be an artist with less experience than you. And if he impresses me with his portfolio more than you do, he will have a higher chance of getting an interview.

Marmoset Viewer and Sketchfab: Awesome way to show your work, but...

Now I don't mind the above at all. In fact, I think you can do cool things with these programs. But keep in mind that I am a hiring manager and I am always busy with my work, meetings and feedback. Therefore, when looking at an applicant’s portfolio, I should immediately see the results.

So the images allow me to quickly assess the quality of the work. And the above software needs to be downloaded, it is not always downloaded, it may not be adapted for mobile platforms, etc. Now imagine that I look at 20 different portfolios. It will take a long time to load Marmoset Viewer.

I will note that I have no objection to this in your portfolio, but prioritize images. Ideally, place the most important things at the top of the page, and place videos and models for viewing at the bottom.

Originality: still the same old...

If you're going to make Batman, give him custom parts.
If you're going to make Soldier #102, think about how to make him unusual.

Just because you want to get a job at Netherrealm or Infinity Ward doesn't mean you have to copy what they do. Because you risk getting lost in a bunch of identical art. At the same time, there will definitely be someone better than you, all other things being equal.
Creating extraordinary works, even if not best quality, you increase your chances of being noticed.

Focusing on style: Variety = Flexibility.

This is my point of view, but some hiring managers disagree. However, I don't want to see people just making World War 2 soldiers or just making pretty Spartans. Diversity means flexibility in work.

Just because you want to work for Blizzard and can hand-draw the best World of Warcraft art doesn't mean you can work for that company when WoW (God forgive me) is gone forever and you have to draw art for them future realistic shooters (though I doubt Overwatch 2 will take a sharp turn in that direction).

A little fantasy, a little sci-fi, a little realism, characters of both genders, maybe a couple of works with fictional creatures, and you have a portfolio that shows that you are ready for any situation. You can create art of different directions and varying complexity. All of them make your portfolio interesting.

I hope this article helps people with their characters and portfolios and that I work with some of you in the future :D.
