Thanks for the kind comments Jody.

To answer your question, all my drafting is done in cad and then the color is added by hand. This is an example of a Conceptual Plan- these are the only plans I add color to.

My assistant actually rendered this plan. I just don't have the time so I have him do it. Actually, since he has been doing the rendering, we've been doing more and more color rendering and perspective drawing for other designers and contractors. Designers from anywhere in the country can outsource the rendering to us. It's kind of fun.

Regarding construction, I act as the general contractor on my projects. This gives me much more design freedom. I work with a great mason who will build that entry shown on the plan.
