Building a portfolio is a major step that many artists forget to do in the process of completing an art career. Your best option is to start in high school to show development because that will give your employers a look into how you can progress in their employment. The best way to start is pick a year, and keep all the artwork from that year. If it's past work, then gather your artwork into a folder and keep it. The way life is progressing now, its best to photograph and digitally keep your artwork. Many employers don't expect potential employees to walk in with a large folder full of artwork.
