The Diva Challenge #136 - Color!

I took this challenge very literally, and used colored pens and colored pencils in my drawing.  It actually started out a few weeks ago when the challenge was to use Tipple, but I never finished it.  I'm not thrilled with the background pattern, but there you have it.  The colors don't translate well from the tile to the scan, so I have to figure out a better way of getting them on my computer.

I'm taking a college level intro art class, since the only thing I seem to be able to draw are different tangle patterns, and I don't even do those very well.  My professor saw some of my doodles and loved them.  Too bad I can't figure out how to draw faces or body parts for the life of me.  The portrait I was doing of my 5 year old son looks like my 5 year old actually did it.  I'll just stick to my doodles, thanks!
