Hi Brian, my interview for CVA and CAA will be on 9th of December. I've read your guide and it's really helpful! Well, as you mentioned the quick poses in life drawing, I would like to know about how long is the time bwtween two poses? I have practiced a lot on this, but the quickest I can do is roughly about 4min per pose:tongue: so I'm so worrying about this...


congrats!! I have an interview for CVA on Jan 27th!! cant wait!! hope it goes well! good luck! :biggrin:

Oh my gosh good luck! Revise a bit of maths so you're not in the deep end, definitely go to as many life drawing sessions before hand as you can and most importantly try not to stress!

Have you started putting a portfolio together yet?

Good luck Xiaoo!! Mine is exactly a week after yours. I hope the day goes well for you!

Ah thanks! Good luck for you, too! I have finished my interview and I got some tips for you. Apart for the question 'an inspiring artist' mentioned by Brian, another tough question is to describe a period of time in art history that you are interested in...So make sure you prepare something for that. Life drawing test was not too difficult, however sometimes they asked you to draw a position in one minute!! So maybe practice quick drawings for that:biggrin:
Hopefully this helps:tongue:
Hope everythings goes well for your interview day!
All the best,

I am doing a2 maths, so that's okay
I am worried about life drawing tho, I don't want to get nervous, I am practicing a lot anyway
I am putting some stuff together, as sketches, character designs, sketch studies, digital art and I am trying some 3d modeling, but I am still nervous 😅

A2 is definitely going to help!
If you want I can take a look at some of your drawings and give you a bit of feedback, it might help.
Also there's a youtube channel called croquis cafe I think, that do recordings of life model sessions. It's really helpful if you cant get to class (but nothing beats real life).

If anyone wants to take a look at my portfolio by the way, I have a digital copy online! It might help if you have something to cross reference with :smile:

Thanks! 90% of that yes, I took a few out because it was too much. I had it all in an A3 portfolio with sleeves aswell I didn't show it online, this meant I had a back up in case something happened to my physical portfolio.

No problem! One thing I would say is that when they'll look at your work they might feel you're not being original, they like to see your OWN character designs and stuff drawn from life and not photos. Every piece I had they asked me, is this your friend/from a photo/from a class? And I answered photo for one which I could tell they weren't happy with that! Everything else was from imagination/friends and they really liked that.
The 90s figure drawings, WOW, trust me when I tell you that people at your level of drawing will not get the full figure on the paper in even 2 minutes let alone one and a half. Thats pretty good! :biggrin: You are focusing toooo much on details though. The purpose of such short poses is to get the gesture and movement rather than anatomy and proportion. Your sketches feel more like 3-5minute poses, since you're not really getting the gesture in there.

^ that is an AWESOME book that explains it all, I got loads from reading it!
For your digital, I'm just guessing that you don't have a tablet? Apart from that, the most obvious thing that jumps out is that they are all kinda flat and don't have a light source. If I were you I would definitely spend some time to study values!

Hope that helps you! <3
