In today’s competitive world, with sky-high cut-off marks in every subject and discipline the chance of getting into any college or institution of repute is becoming increasingly difficult. That’s why one needs to prepare well and perform excellently in the admission tests to secure an admission. Requirement for high quality portfolios arise during the selection process. Some of the well- known colleges and institutions such as NID, Pearl Academy, Shrishti, MIT and others assess and hold interviews with the candidate in IInd phase of their exam where an impressive portfolio is required.

Aside from pencil, pen and ink drawings are probably the most portable, convenient, and low-cost form of art making. All you need is a pen and a piece of paper, and you're ready to make art. Pen and Ink is ideal for line work, but you have to look at your subject closely because you cannot erase marks or change your mind. Using pen and ink demands confident line work, whether you are making a rapid sketch or a tonal study. Any type of synthetic, fibre-tipped pen producing very thin, spidery lines can be referred to as a fine liner. These pens are most often used in technical drawing; their fine tips are supported in a metal sleeve which allows close-up use against a ruling edge. They produce very similar results to a technical pen, which delivers a uniform line of precise width, but are basically throw away versions. However, the tip wears and spreads with use and many artists use their older pens for tonal shading. Fine liners work best on a smooth white paper or card as they will bleed on a soft, textured surface. Ball point and felt-tip pens are easy to carry around and use. They can produce surprisingly pleasing, spontaneous results, especially for quick, scribbled sketches.

Soft Pastels produce brilliant colors and you can paint without needing paintbrushes, solvents or a palette. All you really need to get started are some pastel sticks and a sheet of paper. No other medium allows you to apply rich color as quickly as you can with pastels. Pastels are made from pure pigments and chalk bound with gum and moulded into square or round sticks. They come in three grades – soft, medium and hard - the soft grade containing more pigment and less gum.
