Someday I wish to draw like that, but not for a college or school, just for fun and be me
Love your art! It’s very inspiring for a beginner artist! Your art has so much life in it!
Thank you so much!
Congrats on your acceptance!
Watching your other videos, you can see all the improvements between the first and the final sketchbook; from the increased confidence in using colour to your line work becoming so much more expressive and bringing more energy to the drawing. Also you can see your personal style becoming more prominent in the observational drawings in the last sketchbook. My favourite pages were the monkey observational drawings and The Shape of Water screen caps!
It'd be so interesting and motivating if you made a video discussing the application process as well as your mindset throughout from the viewpoint of making repeat submissions.
Lisa Fang Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot to me. As for the sharing about my application process, I was not about to made it so far because I’m not sure how many viewers to watch it. English is my second language, and I didn’t have much experience of facing camera. I want to use the time of this summer to gather my thoughts and made some plans of my creation so I can get well prepared for my first semester in Calarts and my first year film. Maybe I’ll made a video about my application process in a appropriated time if I have good equipment to support this work.
@@yorickcao0621 All the best for you in your first year! It'd be very cool to see your end of year animation project 👍💪
My favourite thing about your sketchbook is not how brilliant all your sketches are, but how genuine it is! It seems like it really is you doing art for you!
Wow, stunning, I might even say calarts rejected you so many times on purpose so they could see more of your sketchbook! Lol! You’re an amazing and inspirational artist.
Thanks so much for your kind words!
Congrats! You’ve come such a long way, love your work! 💙

Jethro Tai Thank you buddy! Have a nice summer!
Like all your work especially the lions
Thanks!
Beautiful drawing‼︎ Awesome‼︎ ✏️👍😊✨✨
Thank you so much!
Well done. You're super talented. What sketchbook are you using?
D.L. L. Thank you. This is Potentate sketchbook (A4) with hardcover. It is way more cheaper than Moskine for me to take.
Holy crap! This is actually one of the best sketchbooks I’ve seen. Like, every single page you turn to is so incredibly impressive. Wow.
I’m also looking into applying to CalArts and just wondering: how old are you currently? I’m going to be a high school senior this year, but I know I have a lot to improve on as an artist before creating a CalArts sketchbook. Do you think around 20-22 years old is too late for applying?
Oh, and of course, congrats on your acceptance!! Again, love your work!
Hi! Thank you so much for your kind words to me. I think it is never too late to make the right choice and let youself get on the right track to your goal. I have to tell you the truth. I'm 28 years old now. When I started my first application in 2014, I was 22 already. At that time, I'm already a graduated student of an art academy in China. Before I was officially accepted this year. I've rejected for three time. In this process, to make a living, I also worked in an animation company located in Beijing for 2 years. English is my second language. In order to make my TOEFL score meet the standard, I took the toefl for 11 times in the two applications in 2014 and 2015. In both cases, I was rejected because of bad language grades. In 2018, I started my third time of application. At last I was accepted by 5 schools, and I choosed to go to Ringling. However, I still not gave up and started my forth time of application. Finally this time, I made it. When I look back my journey, I really think this is worthwile. We only have one time of life. There is nothing better than make a dream become real in your own lifetime. Calarts is a school worthy of your best efforts.
@@yorickcao0621 Wow, your story is very inspiring to me, since all the people I've seen who applied to top art schools are usually high school graduates or in their early 20s. Your work ethic is seriously admirable, especially since you're applying from a different country! My father is also an immigrant from China, so I can only imagine how difficult your journey getting here must have been. Thank you for the response and the inspiration. Hope you have a great CalArts experience! :)
congrats! 🎉
what sketchbook are you using?
aoba Thank you so much. This is Potentate sketchbook (A4) with hardcover. It’s not the perfect choice but it is way more cheaper than Moskine for me to take.
Absolutely breathtaking. For these works, did you go straight into pen or do you sketch things out in pencil first? (Like at 0:40 and at 1:40 for example?)
It depends. For most situations, I just go straight into the pen. (As you saw at 1:40, the line people on the left is overlapped with the line of the building, that's because I just draw it and didn't consider the composition very well.) , because that's the practice of observational drawings for, but sometimes I would consider starting with a very loose sketch if the composition or the perspective is a little bit complicated.
@@yorickcao0621 awesome, thank you so much for the reply!!
Wow!!! So impressive!!! I am a beginner artist and wish i could able to draw like you someday. Can you share me some tips, i look forward to hearing from you :)
No problem. I suggest you to draw observational drawing first before you step into creative works. It may lay a strong foundation for you to draw anything you want!
what is the model of your sketchbook? is there links to buy it?
How long did it take you to finish this sketchbook? Your art is lovely by the way :)
frög Most of observational drawings(about 90 pages) were finished between mid May to August. Then the creative works were finished by December 23rd.
This might be a stupid question, but how did you keep the ink and marker from bleeding though the back of so many pages? Especially like the Shape of Water blackwork pages.
Wonderful sketchbook and great linework and exploration! I'm going to go look at other videos cause I'm sure you've gotten even better but this is a cool sketchbook!
Honestly, I really don't know LOL. This is just a very cheap sketchbook for about $6. The paper is same with the paper for traditional drawing, so maybe the paper is more heavy than others? Anyway, thanks so much for your support to my works!
Beautiful, what sketchbook are you using?
Dove I used Potentate sketchbook (A4) with hardcover.
Did you take a gap year before applying again or did you transfer schools?
I decided go to Ringling first last year when I got rejected. Then I started this new sketchbook and finished about 90 pages observational drawing before I came to USA. Lastly, I applied as transfer student this time.
I just wanna ask what kind of sketchbook is this?
Ly Hoang Thao It’s Potentate sketchbook (A4).
How much use is there for art school when you're already at this level..
Wow🤩😍 Have you used watercolor pencils in here?🙃¿
Meendi 500 You mean water-soluble color pencil？ I didn't choose it because this tool is difficult to master, so I just used general watercolor and color pencils to finish my works.
What sketchbook did you use?
Did you have reference while drawing these its amazing
Hi Star! Yes I did. For observational drawing, if the drawing might took me a Iong time to finish, I would take some photos in the preparation stage, which could be used for the reference of rendering and coloring. For Character design, I also used to find some reference photos to make me have more clear idea about the possible direction of my drawing. Rational use of reference can help us to create better results. For beginners, it is better not to rely on their own imagination to make up content out of nothing, it is better to base it on real life.
@@yorickcao0621 thank you for replying and do you use pencil first and then pen?
Do you have any social media where you post your art?? I love how loose and squiggly your art is, especially the observational work
NEVERMIND I FOUND IT YAAAAAY (To anyone reading this, their insta is @yorick_cao)
@@ParkerAstoria Thanks for your support! You are also welcomed for adding me on Facebook, my name on Facebook is Yorick Cao.
Can you drop the link for your sketchbook? I’ve looked all over and I can’t find that particular one.
Hi! Sorry for my late response. Do you mean the link of my accepted sketchbook? Here it is: gumroad.com/products/FjffA/edit
@@yorickcao0621 i think they meant the link to buy a similar one. If not id love to know the name of it so i can buy it haha
@@yorickcao0621 nvm you answered in the comment under😂
charlie puth WE DONT TALK ANYMORE
What sketchbook did you use? Was it mixed media?
It's Potentate sketchbook (A4). if this brand is not available for you I think it can also be replaced by Artlicious sketchbook. It is not a particularly ideal material for watercolor painting, because the marks are not obvious after the water dries. Honestly, I just choose it because it is affordable to me.
@@yorickcao0621 thanks dude! I watched all of your sketchbook tours and they were all so inspiring! I’m so happy that you got in and didn’t give up :)
Love it. Do you have instagram or any-other-place-where-you-post-your-art?
Of course. My Instagram account: yorick_cao
@@yorickcao0621 wow your sketches of architecture and interior are breathetaking! +1 follower :^)
Congrats! Do you have an art instagram? :)
Sure. My IG account: yorick_cao
Anyway, thank you so much!
Did you send the book or just send video ?
The sketchbook was required sent to the school. This video was shot before I sent it.
@@yorickcao0621 How long they kept it until you get the news ? Do you get it back after that ?
@@andis9076 Basically, the sketchbook is sent by the new year. The accepted or rejected news will be announced in March. To send the sketchbook, the applicants need to pay extra fees for it, otherwise, the school will not keep it afterr reviewing it.
@@yorickcao0621 Do u get any financial aid from the school ?
@@andis9076 Not really.
do you have an Instagram page?)
if your're this good already, what even is the point of going to art school?
It's an animation school, not an art art school.
