I am getting my associate's in business administration, then going on for either my bachelor's in accounting or business management. I still can't decide. (I love science though, and did study only science related classes for about two years). Either way, I want to own a pottery/art store. That's my ultimate dream, that way I could be surrounded by art, and maybe be able to get to do some myself everyday... Thank you very much for the congrats!

Nice! Have you tried turning the drawing upside down? Makes the sky a lot closer- and if your reference picture is also upside down(!) you can do it that way.
Sometimes the subject is so much in your head that by turning it, you see new stuff.
Where the boat shadow meets the sand: bingo! Love the rich and intensive detail. You pencil nuts work too hard!

I NEVER work too hard !! (I'm a union man
It's a line in the sand .....

Well, then, you're a tribute to that species, Union Men.
You are developing quite the stash of excellent works, Brendan.
My spiritual beleifs say " we are all one"- including God. Is that like a Union?

A yogi referred to the "Trinity" in which The Father is the Backing, The Son is the Management, and the Holy Spirit is the Labour. The "divine economy".

Actually no. In "cooperation". Many think it's not lucrative, but I must disagree.

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale...
Very cool, Brendan. I really like the texture of the ship, and the sky is excellent. Way to go!

I'm working on another Supergirl. The orignal image was heavily Photoshoped so it's taking a while to get the shading and hair right. Should be done with it soon, though.
Any idea what your next project will be?

Next is a break ! .. followed by a graphite drawing - still haven't chosen a subject yet.

Second to fave!HA Dang dude you are one colored pencil slinging guru. I can tell this took a butt load of time and a whole lot of sharpening of the pencils. The grass, the water, the sky...etc. Excellent work.

Thanks Lyle ! I was going to send it over your way to get the lettering done properly !!

18"x27"! Hmmm...no wonder it's very detailed.
The only thing that bothers me is the blue on the top edge of the boat....
can't figure out if it's part of the boat or the sky.
(but maybe it's my lack of familiarity with the subject.)
But this is definitely one of the best CP drawings I've seen....
I'll give it a 10!...with 50 being the highest.

That's the old, broken windshield ... it's blue plexiglass !!
10 out of 50 !! Who-hoo !! I'm into the double digits !!

Brendan, I seriously got goosebumps looking at this, it's magnificent ! (to paraphrase LordAvataZ above)
Just to see how far you've come since those early black and whites is astonishing.

Ha, first one to fav.
18 x 27?!!! That 'd take me a whole year to finish!
This has to be one of the most magnificant piece I've seen

"First to fav" ... Sure, ruin my whole thread !!
Yeah it sure seemed big when I started .. but you get used to it.
I wish my drawing surface could tilt up more - it was hard to reach in places.
