Short quick portfolio question.

ZangZing · Feb 2016

Hello guys. I think about putting together my portfolio and I was wondering, if it's okay to include pieces done with tutorials?

I personally would do everything possible to avoid this. It is likely that your employer will recognise the piece from a tutorial and that may reflect badly on your ability to create good work without a tutorial.

I would advise against it, when making from a tutorial someone else has done all the heavy lifting for you, a bit like connecting the dots.
Instead take what you have learned from the tutorials and make your own piece

If you're precisely following a tutorial, then yeah, I wouldn't include it in a portfolio. If you're using a tutorial as reference to model something similar but not identical, it'd be fine to put it in a portfolio (you'll probably learn more, too).

I would avoid it if it's like the same exact thing from the tutorial
