Portfolio Communities

There are many websites that offer the ability to create a portfolio on their hosted website. Most of these offer free space so that a large enough number of quality users populate the site and permit the parent site to sell advertising. Choose carefully what sites you choose to use to showcase your work. The reputation of the site and the quality of the portfolios there reflect on you. AIGA has cooperated with Behance to offer this service. I recommend their site as a good professional option. Link to Behance I believe that you have to sign up and get an invitation to post. Make sure you indicate that you are a BFA Illustration or Graphic Design Student.
As an Illustrator you may also want to try Deviant Art or CG Hub as places to put a portfolio. But beware of the fact that there is a lot of sub-par, work on the Deviant Site and it carries that reputation with it.
