i went to NPD and RISD officials absolutely raved over my artwork… He said it was one of the most unique and comprehensive portfolios that he had seen that day

Nearly all of my artwork was drawn from life/observation, but what he said was unique about my works is that i put an abstract touch to my observational drawings. For example, I drew a painting of my dog from observation and then i painted over certain parts of his body very faintly with skeleton and bones that i looked up in my physiology textbook

it was unique, yet showed my technical skills and my strength in the foundations
