Hi I'm Michael and I'm still in high school (but soon to be graduating.) I love art but I'm not quite sure what to delve into yet. I have touched bases in a lot of different areas and part of me wants to get good at everything, but I realize I have to specialize in things if I want to work in the industry. Would love to know what you think!

Hi Michael, great high-school portfolio. You have a lot of good stuff here. Love the use of colors and value in your boat painting. The frog image feels like it could be a promo image from the Obsidian game "Grounded" or a pre-viz image for a new animated movie. What you need to do now is decide if you want to work in animation, video games or?? You have an illustration portfolio now but you should know the difference between illustration jobs and design/concept art jobs. Feng Zhu does a really good explaining the difference in this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fPq1AF7v0E&t=2501s Once you're clear on where you want to go with your career create a portfolio with images that demonstrate you can do that job. Good luck!

I would just keep drawing, and when you find the thing you really really really love doing, specialize in that. I love your boatscene btw. Very cool!
