- Hey everyone! Apologies for the bad audio, I don’t own a mic so I was literally using voice memos on my IPad for this video... probably time to invest in a usable mic lol. This is also my first CZcams video I’ve ever made and had absolutely no idea what I was doing, so if parts of it seem a little odd.... that’s why!
Please like and subscribe if you like this video, and follow me on Instagram (linked bellow!)
If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask them in the comments bellow or DM me on my Instagram and I’ll do my best to answer! I’m also going to be sharing my website soon, which will have similar in-depth portfolio info, and will be linked in the comments when released :)

Hey everyone! My website is now up, feel free to check it out! sophiecorbart.weebly.com
is that an online university or why are there so many sheridan accepted videos from so many artists ?
@@alexmehler7318 Sheridan’s Animation program is actually an honours bachelor program from Sheridan College in Ontario, Canada, so not an online university. There’s a good amount of portfolio videos on CZcams because many people who are applying in the future often find looking at accepted and rejected portfolios helpful to see where people may have lost or gained marks!
@@sophiecorbett6293 ahh ok so some people just apply for fun? to see if they are rejected or not ? because for me id have no way to ever move to canada and i guess its the same for 99% of people
@@alexmehler7318 I think most people who are applying and creating their portfolios are actually hoping to attend the program lol. I’d be surprised if anyone was doing it “for fun” as the portfolio process is very time consuming. In terms of moving to Canada, I wasn’t an international student but I do know of many students from around the world who were able to attend if accepted, you should be able to find that info on Sheridan’s website if interested.
@@alexmehler7318 Canada has lots of students applying! In facts most people who get in are Canadian! If you're applying, you're probably going to apply for a visa like any other international student. If you can't move there, you shouldn't apply!
Thank you! Just recently I've decided I want to be an animator, but I'm not too amazing at art YET. What's important is that I have passion. It gives me hope that I can be better as you definitely improved greatly in a year. It makes the journey feel achievable, so thanks so much for sharing!
This portfolio is so amazing! I'm aiming to be an illustrator and not an animator but this is still so inspiring. It's clear how much hard work you poured unto the drawings, and your art has a very nice style that reminds me of older 2D western cartoons. Congrats on getting in!!
This is so amazing, thank you so much for all the tips as well, good luck! 💕💕
Your artstyle is so pretty! It reminds me kinda of German 2010 cartoons in a way.
thank you so much for sharing! it really motivated me :’)
Congrats on getting in! Your portfolio, especially the personal work, has so much expression!
Thank you!! Congrats on getting in as well, love your portfolio!
This is very inspiring! I don’t know if I’ll be able to make something this amazing and it gives me anxiety
INCREDIBLE! These are unreal, can't say I'm surprised you got in ;)
Thank you clarè!!!💗
Thanks for sharing! This was incredibly informative!
As someone trying to figure out portfolios, this gem is really a God send in helping me figure out how I can go about preparing a portfolio. So glad that this just appeared on my recommended. Congratulations and good luck on your future endeavors!
Thanks so much! Glad it could help!
Congrats again Sophie 👏
That jump in your mark from the previous year just shows how hard working and determined you were. Evidently, it paid off!
Can’t wait to see you on campus when possible 😁
Thank you Julianne!!! All of your help was so so appreciated!
Oh my, your portfolio looks lovely! A few things stuck out to me in the Storyboard Comparison, so I thought I'd share my thoughts:
Lemme start off by saying, wow there's huge improvement in the camera angles!
The first storyboard's camera is jumping around from the front view, downwards, an aerial view and the front view again. On the other hand, the second is the front, down, front and front again - sort of a swooping arc. Very pleasing! The first also zooms in and out chaotically while the second regularly zooms in to build anticipation in the first 3 panels and zooms out suddenly to show an extended range of motion in the last panel
The props were better used - the doughnut and the shark fin seem stiff in the first storyboard (i.e. stiff lines that don't deform to show speed) while the flower in the second storyboard a much more vivid part in the story (moving stem, petals)
And of course, as you'd mentioned, the character isn't fully visible in the first storyboard which is a bit counterproductive for character storyboards, but that was beautifully corrected in the second, where there are construction lines, and cool angles that show that you have a good grasp of the character
On the whole, really neat, thanks for sharing this, got a good bit of inspiration from this!
Thanks so much for your kind words and comments! I definitely agree with everything you said, it makes complete sense that there was such a difference in grade between the two.
You deserve this so much!!! Great vid👍🤌
AGHHH LOVE YOU!!
Thank you for this video! It's really informative and helpful for me as a way to start out in animation.
Eventhough I'm not applying for Sheridan, I really want to try these out as practice and just developing my own portfolio :D
Thanks so much! I’m glad you found it helpful!
amazing portfolio fam❤😄im so happy for you i really wanna get in soon
thank you so much!!
Thank you so much. It was so helpful❤💖💗
Congratulations! Your portfolio is amazing abd thank you for so much information!!!! I am going to apply to sheridan animation next year,i am so nervous and i wish i can do as you did!
Oops and* sorry for the typo
So glad you found it helpful! Best of luck to you next year!!
This is an amazing portfolio! I can only hope my art gets good enough to get in next year
I wanna do this too :) that will be really awesome if we can get the good score
I'm so nervous about my portfolio 😭😭😭😭😭💙i hope i can be amazing like you
Don’t be nervous! It can definitely be stressful at times, but it’s also a fun process too! Best of luck! 💗
Cool video!
This is amazing. I have one question... do you have any tips for learning to do layouts? Yours are gorgeous. Congrats on your acceptance, keep it up!
Thank you so much! For me, I found 1) studying composition (rule of thirds, foreground mid ground and background etc) and then looking at how other people apply that into their compositions, as well as 2) looking at other applicant’s accepted portfolio layouts to see what they did right, as well as looking at professional layouts from the industry from different films and shows (take a look at characterdesignreferences.com/art-of-animation -it’s a solid animation database for layouts and overall vis dev) and 3) looking up references when you are creating you layouts (ie. photos of rocks, trees, desks, chairs, you name it) so that you get an idea of what these things look like!
Idk what's up with the flood of Sheridan portfolio videos in my recommended but they are very interesting
your portfolio is amazing !! I'm going to apply to the same programme as well, where can I find the character model sheet?
Thank you! When applications open up in November and you apply, you’ll get a full application package with everything you need to know about the requirements and how to apply, including the character model sheet for the storyboard section. If you’d like to check out the possum model sheet, you may also be able to find it online: static1.squarespace.com/static/5af0668496d455d7f1de9f2b/t/5db9bb6cb5214873a7a7d534/1572453233124/app-pbaaa-1209.pdf (this is last years requirements and model sheet you can use for reference!)
I'm very new to how portfolios work. Do you have to draw these drawings live in front of a jury or at home?
Surely Informative and we’ll deserved! May I ask if it‘s mandatory to do layouts horizontally on paper? Cause I kinda wanna draw one of them vertically and I haven’t seen anyone that showcased their portfolio doing that yet..
Thank you! Yes, I believe that it is mandatory to do layouts on horizontal paper- many people like to use the 11x17 format, but I’ve definitely seen a bit of a range of size, however all horizontal. The reason that they require it that way is in animation, layouts are basically the background for whatever is being animated, and so is generally horizontal to work with the format etc.
@@sophiecorbett6293 Wow thx for the reply and ty for ur time! I came across the portfolio assessment guidelines just now and I think I must have drifted off before and didn't see the keyword 'widescreen' in the layout section.. I'll find another way through then and ty again for answering!
Do let me know if i should go for bachlors degree in animation b4 masters
Did you use charcoal for the life drawings?
I will enter 11th whenever lockdown lifts and now I have approximately 3 years to prepare, so yeah thanks for the motivation boat and guidance
WAIT?? IS THIS ALL TO GET “IN”???
how long did it take to do your portfolio after High school ?
For my rejected portfolio, I was actually creating it during high school, as they give you the portfolio requirements in November and the Portfolio is due February. For my accepted portfolio, it was the same time frame (November- February) but I had started some of my personal pieces a couple of months beforehand! So basically four months + extra couple of weeks where I worked on some personal work.
26:23 Did you get to choose each action for the storyboard? If not, I feel like it's hard to get a closeup shot in there. The first shot has to be an establishing shot, and the rest deal with two subject matters that are at a distance from eachother. I guess you could get one in for the 'Possum runs away from the shark fin' action but it'd be hard to tell the distance between the possum and the shark fin. And there's nothing wrong with a central composition for the establishing shot, especially since Possum is at the center of the story. So overall I disagree with their assessment if your reasoning is correct. Yet again I'm not an animator so who knows
Hi, thanks for your thoughts! We actually do get to choose each action for the storyboard (which means I should have chosen better ones lol), the only things that are normally given to us to include is the character (possum) and the “theme” or “moral” which is usually relatively open ended, and you then pick whatever four panel story you want that falls under the provided theme. For the central composition, I’d say that the concern I’d have with setting it center would be that it would break the “rule of thirds” rule which is normally pushed in layout and composition in general animation (unless it’s a stylistic choice)!
@@sophiecorbett6293 Thanks for replying! That makes sense. It's important to show you understand those rules if applying to an animation school, of course. Maybe you could've done the character on the right and the shark in the background on the left, then some kind of closeup shot for the fourth one??? Regardless, you did much better in the second one anyway.
Also I love your layouts! You have a great sense of perspective and foreground-middleground-background, which really makes the enviromnent feel alive
sorry if I have GPA 4 and good language score for example IELTS exam but I can't get average grade for portfolio then i will be reject?
Yes, that is correct. Every year there is a domestic cut-off and international cut-off score that applicants need to achieve at a minimum to be accepted.
If you get rejected from some art school you can try again next year? That's good to know
OMG:)))
What do you think is the best choice: Only applying for Sheridan and work hard to meet their requirements or applying to multiple schools?
I would try to apply to multiple schools if possible! It’s always good to have back up plans for other programs as Sheridan’s animation program is pretty competitive, and especially if you’re not planning on applying more then once and are happy with an offer from any kind of animation program. That being said, sometimes putting your complete focus and attention on one portfolio will create the best results and can give you the best chance of being accepted…. so it really depends on what is most important to you and how set you are on the sheridan program specifically.
@@sophiecorbett6293 Oh I see. I have now applied for more than 6 schools. And now preparing portfolio for each of them. By the way can I ask you for help? Can I have a personal chat with you regarding my portfolio for Sheridan?
@@aathmajaananth8623 I’m offering one-time portfolio review tutoring sessions, if you are interested! Send me a dm on my Instagram @sophiecorbart and we can go from there.
first and second frame are similar as well guess you can trick them
Lol yeah the first and second frame also had some similarities! Luckily I think there was enough of a difference to differentiate between the shots :)
It says no photos or books are allowed for figurw drawings. It should be from life .
So can i use a model video for doing figure drawings ?
Yes you can! Most people I know that applied did this (including me, as in person life drawing isn’t really an option during the Covid pandemic).
@@sophiecorbett6293 in some countries its not an option at all lol . Nude modelling and drawings are considered taboo
what does it mean International cut off and Domestic cut off? you guys have different recrutations depending on where you're from? Or it just has to do weater you have International Baccalaureate or some canadian equivalent? That seem so weird to me....
So Sheridan does have different portfolio cut offs depending on where you’re from, I’m not 100% sure why exactly but it could have something to do with them wanting to prioritize Canadian applicants since it’s a Canadian program? If that’s the case, there is far few international spots then Canadian spots, so it becomes more competitive and demands a higher score to get in. Unfortunately though it makes it much more challenging for international students to get accepted, which really sucks. :/
@@sophiecorbett6293 Oh, thanks for some clarifications!
Is it an entrance exam scoresheet,or your previous course sheet? The thing is that I am planning to join sheridan for masters in animation. My approx percentile of UG course in B.Design Multimedia is 83.5%. Please enlighten me about it to the best of your knowledge.
Hi! An acceptance into Sheridan’s animation program relays entirely on your portfolio score that you submit. There’s a cut off for the portfolio score that you need to achieve to be accepted, and it’s different for both domestic and international students. There are a few other requirements, like making sure you have a 68% (I think?) overall grade average as well as a couple other art credits. I’d take a look at Sheridan’s website to confirm and see the full list of requirements needed! www.sheridancollege.ca/programs/bachelor-of-animation#tab=admission-requirements
@@sophiecorbett6293 thanks very much dear for putting such effort on my request. May you too get the guidance you need.
Meow!
sorry we need to write resume for sharidon college?
No resume needed for the Animation Program! Here is a link to all the admission requirements: www.sheridancollege.ca/programs/bachelor-of-animation#tab=admission-requirements
@@sophiecorbett6293 i should prepare all of them and then apply? i mean i must have my all grads?
@@rinhyakuya3784 You can apply and submit your portfolio before you get your required credits and transcript, as long as Sheridan receives all that before the start of the program. I’m not 100% sure about that however, so this is a great question for Sheridan’s administration! You should be able to find that contact information on Sheridan’s website.
@@sophiecorbett6293 thank you so much for your answering 🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️it was really helpful
I'm literally still an animation student in a third world country. I still don't know how to draw hands and my self-hatred has me not collecting my doodles for a portfolio. I am doomed.
Feel free to send me some of your hand drawings for a quick critique!
sorry sharidon college need Ana recommendation letter?
No recommendation letter needed! They grade you simply on your portfolio score, however there are also some other minor requirements, like an overall grade average you’d have to achieve in grade 12 and some credits you’d have to have. All that info can be found on Sheridan’s website under eligibility for Bachelor or Animation!
@@sophiecorbett6293 wow so i don't need that? thank you so muchhhhhh
Do they tell you what you should “Draw”???
When you apply, they’ll give you a list of requirements that are needed for the portfolio. www.sheridancollege.ca/-/media/project/sheridan/shared/files/programs/admission-requirements/faad/apppbaaa.pdf - this what the portfolio requirements were for this year, if you wanted to take a look!
@@sophiecorbett6293 thank you for your reply
I have another question can we use the photograph references for our portfolio assessment???
Because I read Sheridan website ..but they said that we shouldn’t a copy ..so yeah I want to try animals but because of the COVID-19 we can’t go to the zoo …so is it okay??
@@Lulu-rp8bo Many people I know who applied included animal sketches/studies from royalty-free photos in the personal work section, usually as a page under their sketchbook. I think as long as you are using royalty-free images, and labeling them as studies, there should be no issue. When Sheridan means “no copying”, they are mostly referring to not copying anyone else’s art work, and claiming it as your own. Hope that helps!
@@sophiecorbett6293 thank you 🙏🏻
Hello . I had a another question in the portfolio does not specify what the paper size is, I mean A4, A3 what paper size the want ?? I do not know for the character design and the layout of the paper size is enough… can you help me ?? I mean I didn’t say what what size paper they request… so one of them my art is the screen size other one be larger than the screen size so I don’t know if I’m doing right or not… I love you grateful if you answers in my question 🙏🏻
100th comment
these animation schools seem to always look for people who are already good at it.... what are they even teachign then????
They teach a much further extension of some of the basic skills you need to have coming into the program as well as technology used in the industry and many many other things (there’s a lot to learn, trust me lol) but I 100% agree with you that it seems ridiculous that you should know all these things before coming into a school that is meant to teach it to you🥴
@@sophiecorbett6293 i mean yeah i get that the people enter arent all knowing erudites but the standards are getting kind of ridiculous
@@cinamoonmoon5166 definitely agree 👍
Hi, I am applying for Sheridan this year and I was just wondering how u found your tutors? Did u contact them on instagram or is there a different way to find Sheridan students who will help u ?
I found my tutors from adds on the Facebook hopefuls group and Discord hopefuls group, as well as Instagram!
