I’m currently taking the Art Portfolio course at my school and I wanted to share my work for our first project!
The project was to make 3-5 pieces from a word. My word was grotesque.
I had close to finished these two before our student teacher came up to me and asked me to look for things with a deeper understanding of the word instead of just going surface level. So these two have no real meanings other than I wanted to draw them.
This one has a somewhat personal and deep meaning to me; as a trans person somedays I’ll look in the mirror and be confused at who I’m looking at. “That person in the mirror isn’t me, I look more masculine and they obviously look like a feminine figure.” It was as if I was looking at a completely different person, like the body I lived in and used was a grotesque disfiguration of my actual self.
When this idea came to me I had a completely different sketch and everything of how it would look. The meaning behind this is that I used to be a big hoarder, collecting and keeping food wrappers and papers and plastic. I almost never threw things out, it felt to weird and icky to do. No one really noticed it because I hid my hoarding of trash but it always felt like someone would find it and tell me I was grotesque + weird for keeping that type of stuff.
I also have my page I planned this stuff out with (thumbnails and rough designs) if y’all would like to see any of that.
Another portfolio dump, all of this stuff is from 2019 if I remember correctly.
Really was the beginning of me deciding on how to implement stories in a visual medium.
If you don't want people to take inspiration from you then don't post your stuff on the internet and don't show anyone in real life and since people can't take inspiration from you, you can't take inspiration from others because that'd be hypocrisy so good luck!
this is probably a stupid question but ARTISTS if u have a portfolio to apply for internships/jobs and u make a lot of fanart pieces in ur spare time, did u put any of those pieces in your portfolio????

ik for the school program i’m in we couldn’t use fanart but idk if internships or jobs r different. idk. pls help 🙏
I think almost 3 years later I finally understand how to interpret my own art.
For my highschool art portfolio you had to submit a concentration. A number of peices all with a theme or at least all in the same medium. I went with ink pen. Specifically, all of my peices were done as a single line drawing, with the pen never leaving the paper, and sometimes dabbling with watercolor as well.
I was in highschool and in pain. I knew I was depressed, diagnosed and medicated. But I didn't understand why. Part of it was purely physical brain chemistry. But another was my perspective.
One single unbroken line. I believe I have firmly overcome my depression. I am still dependent on medication and have come to terms that I probably will be for the rest of this life. But I am now happy, and brimming with hope. And with that has come hightened understanding.
I had come to resent my highschool art. I saw it as proof of my pain and failures. And I thought it perfectly represents my selfishness. In highschool I was looking forward to better days wanting better things, but I wanted them for myself.
I believe I have a pretty good imagination. I seem to have always been good at looking down the road to the future. Knowing whether or not an action will hurt me. But my focus was on my timeline, not others. I was only looking at a single line.
I knew I wanted to be good. But with only the perspective of a single line there was no urgency, no reason. If I was doing this only for me? Well than I'd rather just be lazy.
There are a thousand selfish reasons to never change.
I know that no matter what I do or don't do, I am loved; I know very well my agency, that I am free to subject myself to things that will hurt me. But I do not want anyone to hurt longer than they have to. I want to, am axious and excited to change, to be better for others. I take care of myself, practice self-love, so I can stay longer to help others.
Beware of myopic, singular, or narrow-minded thinking. Look to love others.
