photo on right. my rendition on left.

this is my first assignment for my rendering class. this is what $300 worth of professional artist quality pencils/markers and 2 hours time gets you. rendering is actually a super meditative process for me. it's nice to see good results, but again I am finding it hard to understand the applicability of this class to my career. i mean, what client is going to pay a designer's hourly rate to have a hand-rendering produced?

<----this would cost $150 at minimum! and it's just one piece of furniture with some crap on top.
