There's this college nearby that I really want to get into. I don't have any high school transcripts because I have a GED. My admissions adviser told me that gathering a portfolio might increase my chances of being accepted. I don't have any formal art training but I have the talent enough to sketch out my designs. I don't know how to make a formal portfolio!

What size paper do I use? Should I put them in a binder? A folder? A sketch journal? How many should I draw? How many sketches per page? Should I color them and with what?!

A portfolio is not required so they didn't set specifications. However with no grades to show a portfolio may be my only shot at getting in! I really need help...

Also in case you were curious the college's name is Virgina Marti College of Art & Design (VMCAD)

You should not have any problems getting in. Having natural talent is the most important thing, this is not learned though learning techniques can enhance skills. A sketch journal is appropriate, you should have colored and black and white, a combination is always good. Use as many to give an overall view of your perspective and talents. Approximately 15-25. If you need a reference I can find someone to write one for you.

Ignore those who discourage you, they are worthless.
