Hello, I'm Kit, and I'm a 15 year old that's currently preping for entry into Cal Arts for character animation. I've heard that it's VERY competative, so I'm trying to get ahead. I tend to just...take what people say and do it, so I think I change very fast. Right now, I'm trying to get to the point where when I'm 17, I can meet all the requirements that they've set for people planing to enter the program. It's just been my dream to make it into Cal Arts. I really really really really really really really want to get it, and if I don't, I'll be super bummed. I'm making this sketchbook thread here so that I can get some critiques and feedback from the wonderful professionals and not so professionals here. If you're in animation, I would REALLY love to hear from you.

Please critique as much as you can
