Speedy Rendering

Rendering under a time limit is pretty stressful, that's for sure. I had drawn this living room scene beforehand and masked certain parts with tape, but was then given two hours to render the entire drawing (actual size is about 18"x24"). Now, I have obviously become a bit more familiar with my markers at this point, and making slightly different shades of the same hue isn't quite as big of an obstacle. I really like the overall look of my rendering, but the one part I wish I could change is the wall color. The walls were one of the first surfaces in the drawing that I tackled, figuring that those would take the longest. I felt rushed, so I sort of just picked a color at random and threw it on the walls. Almost as soon as my Light Peach marker touched the paper, I realized that the pink color was a tad too bright for my liking. I then had to spend time applying various gray shades to try and tone it down, and used a darker peach color to show plane change. Again, this darker peach is too vibrant in my opinion. After I finished rendering in marker, I had a little time left to add some colored pencil detailing for depth and a bit of texture. This really helped bring certain parts of my rendering together as I was able to pull some of the greens into the furniture and shadows (Color Repeat). I wish I had had more time to really repeat colors throughout the drawing though, it could still use some depth in places. Still, for a first attempt at rendering an entire room full of furniture, I think I did pretty well!
