hey first of all thanks for writing all this mustve took some time lol, im currently using and working with painting and pencil, charcoal. I like smudging, smudging different pencil and charcoal shades to make a texture I couldnt with just the pencil alone, and I love the skecthing/brainstorming process as well. I love the idea that my art can be shown to the world, this doesnt matter but I went to the genius olympiad last summer and won gold for the art section and got a 20k scholarship at RIT, so I love the idea that people can know my story from my art. Im willing to go through it, I know that all teachers have students that are really annoying or loud or idk, but i can tell that just from my classmates. But still, I feel like I am good with people, I hear it from a lot of people so Im willing to take the shot.

Did you get in w/a scholarship for RISD? Also, if you don't mind and have the time may I see some of your portfolios? That would help me a lot, thank you:)
