answers1: make it of art you thought of yourself. If you just do fan
art, it's going to appear that you lack imagination and don't have a
selective eye. Pick about 12-15 works that you think are your absolute
best, that you can see yourself hanging on a wall and/or showing to an
employer, because what a portfolio review is essentially IS a
portfolio interview. But make sure it's your absolute best work. Get
them professionally matted with white matts, museum cut ( bottom
weighted, meaning there is more mat on the bottom than the top or
sides). Make sure they are extremely clean looking. Invet in a good
hardshell portfolio. It's good but not required to have an artists'
statement and inventory list included in your portfolio as well. A
printed, matted portfolio is a MUST. Employers and schools often
evaluate every choice you make, including craftmanship of the mat
itself, as well as paper choice of your works. I had professors during
my graduate portfolio review open the mats to see how I had a work
attached to the backing (photo squares). As well as printed, DVD
portfolios are also common. Make sure the disc has a well designed
label! Also there are many ways to shw your work on disc. You can make
a simple Flash based gallery using Adobe Acrobat CS4 that you can burn
to a disc. If you have an automatically-moving slideshow, have the
slides sit for about eight seconds or so before moving on. That gives
the viewer a good chance to view your work. A resumé they can access
and read is also a must. Make the presentation as good as the work. A
print portfolio, whether they require it or not, is almost always
required by interviewing firms. Don't scrimp on it!
answers2: Colleges are more interested in your overall art skills,
rather than just what you can do in one particular category of art.
"Manga," although it is a valid art form, is a standardized, iconic
method of drawing. In college, you'll learn many aspects of drawing
and painting, and it will add greatly to your manga skills. My
advice...forget the manga for a while. Go to college...learn how to
draw and paint well, then return to Manga as a skilled pro and make a
fortune.
answers3: There must be art colleges which teach manga style art at
the US and at most countries. I think so because how do so many people
come up drawing anime? Probably some colleges specialize on anime.
