    The best explanation I found so far FINALLY!

    I'll have a loooong day...

      @@ArmandoBash Luckily it went well, I had to ask a quick review to someone who just finished his BA in Illustration. Before send it, the same person suggested me to apply to both the 3y and the 3y + foundation course since from his own experience he got rejected just for one very tiny error, so I did like he said.
      He was right, they rejected the application in the 3y one (I had no mistakes in my portfolio, the problem were the "low" credits to get in) and got me in with no problems in the + foundation one.
      Now I successfully passed the foundation year and got in the 3D Animation course 😍🤩🤩

      I say that all the time even tho I am in a portfolio course for my dream art school, getting Highers for Art and Design and willing to work for Blizzard. Some people say that all the time but who knows maybe you suck at drawing portraiture but amazing at landscapes, bad at props but good at visual effects and abilities. No one is bad at one thing an concludes it as a whole. Go for your dream job! You're a champ

    I really loved your work! I'm an Industrial Design student in the states, and for my school, anyone was allowed to sign up for the 1st (out of 4) year studio. That's where we were taught how to draw like an Industrial Designer, and had mini projects assigned to exercise our creative skills. Then after the year was over, we compiled our best work (and a written essay) to submit to a jury to be scored. The top 36 scores then get to continue the program!
    btw, Jacob, I found your channel not too long ago, and I'm totally in love with your vlogs! Keep it up, and I'm so so so excited to see more :)

    i watched all of your videos in the last couple days and i have to say it was a really good time! i love the 20h study thing and i'll get to it myself since i love to learn new things. i'm getting into hand drawing and i look forward to your vid on perspective!! i've been working on 3D softwares, photoshop and indesign quite a bit the last 3 years and i really want to up my game! i really like that mix of hand + digital drawing that you did and your arts on the wood board are absolutely stunning! i look forward to see what you'll design in the futur, near and far. i think my favorite design is the knife. did you try it to see if it was as good as you thought? the handle might be too light?

      i was talking about your final model but after thinking about it i figured that it was pretty easy to change the weight based on the material of the handle. i have a couple kitchen knives with the blade and the handle made out of the same material but the handle is a shell that contains a specific amount of sand to get the perfect weight wich i found very interesting!

I've a lot of illustrations, logos,etc. But all of them done with traditional medium.

      @clairesweet1 6 лет назад

      I recommend finishing them up. Many design school replicate what design companies look for in a portfolio. So understandable, they want finish work. They want to know if you can start and complete a project. Otherwise why would be the point in hiring/accepting students.

      V A N I L L A S A D B O I You have to prove that you are good enough fot the university, here in bohemia it is on every art school. Industrial / product design talent exams usualy have some sort of modeling and drawing stuff in them, it is different because you dont have to be good, you have to prove your talent and that it is worth for you to study there

    • @vanillasadboi
      @vanillasadboi 6 лет назад

      sasa barták that sounds really long. I live in the UK and when I applied to do product design at uni, all I had to do was write a UCAS statement, which is basically a cover letter but more generic because I had to apply to five different unis using the same statement. After the statement, I went to interviews and I brought my portfolio, where I was asked why I wanted to do product design and who my favourite designer is.

I had to choose which university as my fist choice and my back up choice. It was so long and annoying.
