Her favorite color is blue and it is pre-dominant in her work.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial,serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">When she is creating an artwork, she makes sure that it is completed, no matter how difficult it is for her to complete her work. Her favorite medium is charcoal. A single pencil of charcoal can be used to create different shades. The depth that it gives to artwork is beautiful.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial,serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">She pays attention to every minute detail, she possibly can, while she creates her artworks. Her father is a doctor but is still a great artist, her mother is a housewife and it was her ideas that took Somya forward all along, as she went ahead participating in contests at the school level.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial,serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Somya still remembers the day when she first did painting on canvas which was displayed in a class exhibition.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial,serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Sketching includes still life, nature drawing, human sketches, live drawings or illustrations.
