This one is quite special for me. I created this quite some time ago, about a decade ago, to be precise. I made use of colour pencils only.

The picture is easy to comprehend. It depends on how the viewer sees it. From the outlook, it looks like a beautiful face of a lady. But when you take a closer look, you find nature in it.

Again, this is not something that I thought of. I found this on a social media page and felt like recreating this one.

So why is this special for me? Well, this very picture helped me crack a big interview. I had reached the final rounds of the interview process at an MNC. I had messed up the final Managerial round to quite an extent. It all boiled down to the final set of questions which turned things in my favour.

I was asked about my hobbies and I was quick to mention ‘sketching’. Without any delay, the interviewer handed me a marker and asked me to draw something. I had never expected this to happen. And for a fake artist like me, who can only recreate stuff, this looked like a tough nut. I could not think of anything to sketch. This image flashed in my mind and I drew it.

The Interviewer loved it so much that the interview started all over again. What seemed like ending in 5 minutes, lasted 45 minutes. And those additional minutes were good enough for me to leave a lasting positive impression on the interviewer.
