QUICK ANSWER
To book a consultation at Royal Blue, call 02-3446-5929 or use the consultation form on our website. Our studio is in Apgujeong, Seoul.
A first meeting is most useful when the family brings a few things that let us look at real requirements rather than general impressions: recent work with dates, the current English score and its test date, a school record, a draft school list and a budget range. The checklist below explains why each matters.

What to Bring and Why
| Bring | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| 10–20 recent works, with the date each was made | Schools set portfolio ranges (Parsons 8–12, Pratt 10–20, RISD 12–20, SVA 15–20), and Pratt asks for work from the last 18 months |
| Any drawings from direct observation | RISD, SVA and Pratt ask for some observational work; Parsons does not require it |
| English test score and test date | Minimums differ (SVA TOEFL 80 or 4.5; Pratt 92 or 5; RISD 5), and Pratt accepts scores within two years of the start term |
| Latest school record | Some schools also set academic minimums, such as a 70% average at the University of Alberta |
| A draft list of schools and majors | Requirements differ by programme: CalArts Character Animation and Experimental Animation ask for very different portfolios |
| A budget range | Award rates in our record range from 6% of admits at RISD to 82% at Otis, so the list affects cost |
Requirements from the official pages of each school, checked October 2026; award figures from our results record (2009–2026).
QUESTIONS WORTH ASKING US
Ask us the same questions you would ask any academy: how many acceptances we have recorded, at which schools and years, how they were verified, and which recent rule changes affect your child. Our answers are on our results page, and our guide to checking an academy’s experience shows the method.

Should my child bring artwork?
Yes. Bring 10–20 recent pieces with the date each was made, including any drawings from direct observation.
Do we need an English score before the consultation?
