Leeds Art Uni portfolio
Hi, I'm applying to Leeds Art University for both Illustration and Comics and Concept Art, and I've received an email saying "For your application to be considered you need to set up your Leeds Arts University Applicant Portal and upload a maximum of six examples of your work." Does this mean I just send like idk 2 examples of life drawings, 1 or 2 examples of college project work/experimenting with mediums, and 2 examples of my own illustrations??
Thanks!
Thanks!
That sounds like a great plan. If they have any specific portfolio guidance, i'd have a check through of that to see if they have any more specific advice or things they look for.
My general portfolio advice is a combination of examples of iteration/development/design work (often the kind of thing you might do in A level), some drawings from life (e.g. still life, figure drawing, technical drawing) and imaginative work (work that demonstrates combining ideas imaginatively). Some places might request a variety of mediums, and these might be specific to your course i.e. if you're applying for a fashion course they might look for textiles work. In your case they might ask for examples of storyboarding or something similar within their portfolio guidance but i'd look at their course-specific guidance to be sure.
Seems like you have a good grasp on all this already and you have a good plan. Good luck!
