Here is part of my final rendering project for my colored pencil drawing class. The assignment was to take a previous project and render it in colored pencil, using a painting as inspiration for colors and composition. I started with my benta plate prototypes from 2007:

Referenced Wary Meyers' Painting, "Lobsters Playing," for color and composition:

and ended up with this:

As a bonus, I accidentally dressed to match my assignment, something that the jurors did not let go unnoticed:

I really loved this drawing class. Working with colored pencils was challenging and humbling, and my favorite part (and what I'm hoping to continue doing) was keeping a sketchbook of drawings and color exercises.
My final Revit project is due tomorrow. After that, the fun starts - stoop sale on Saturday, 1/2 marathon on Sunday, then in the following two weeks we'll pack up the house, move across town, have dinner with friends, road-trip to Durango, and take a quick trip to Tucson to visit some friends. All before the end of May!
Oh! Tonight I won a $100 loaded credit card in a raffle at the Modern in Denver party at DWR! So now I'm debating what to splurge on. Suggestions?

Yay for being done with finals!
I have no idea what you should splurge on, but now I really want to win something.
And hey, thanks for the link. :)
Good job!
