Portfolio submission: The Big Snooze by Mia Canderan (IDEA Grad 2023) (8"x11" on paper)

This is an ink drawing that I did from life of my dog, Charlie. I played with curved lines and space in this piece, trying to recreate the texture and depth of his fur. I was careful not to wake him up from his big snooze.

The purpose of your portfolio is to demonstrate your creative potential. We assess portfolios on drawing skill, design and creativity.
