I prefer generation hand drawn perspectives in pencil, then overlay with white trash using Pentel Sign Pen for line work and Chart Pak for color.

NAQI IS MY FRIEND…AND HE REALLY TALENTED IN WATERCOLOR TECHNIQUE…

How do you deal with a client who was in a hurry to get a project into his hands, but now is far behind with payment?

Great Group Brandon!
