Parallel Project?

YAfter experiencing a rough patch of 'artist block' and being uninspired by any current events for the parallel project, I decided to use my time in class to make a peice for the Halle Cultural Center's art show. I looked for pictures that I took on my phone to draw for the show. I finally found a picture that had a story that I connected to personally to create in colored pencil. I chose colored pencil because I was inspired by some of the AP Student's projects and wanted to get better at the skill. Below is a photo of what I will be drawing. It is a picture of a friend I met outside. I like this picture because of the textures of the toad and the colors of the background.
