I drew this entirely with coloured pencils. And the idea came from a very familiar photo : this one, which was taken during the 5U class reunion last year.
The skies were darkened in the drawing, but even so, there still was a rainbow, and people uniting and celebrating together regardless of ethnicity and background. I simply called this work "espoir", meaning "hope". The rainbow keeps its original sense : it's meant to be a sign of a covenant God made with Noah that He will never ever send huge destructive floods like the one which required the Ark... It's a covenant that He makes with all of us too. From the darkened sky and blue clouds, there is light. There is hope.
I won't be able to hit the sketchpad like this... not in three months. So I thought I'd seize the occasion and do it now. When I first began this piece of work, I never thought I'd end up finishing it, especially with the amount of details I had to put in.
P.S. For those of you who came for the French-Speakers' reunion on the 23rd of May, don't you think #2 and #4 look veeeeeryyyyy familiar ? ;-) Take a closer look by clicking on the image - and see for yourselves.
ETA : On second thought, it's all so blur and pixelated (no thanks to the fact that I took this with my phone, and I don't have a scanner). But come on, keep guessing ! I'll give you a few clues : #2 sang Moi Lolita. #4 sang the funny song about the coffee and sugar. :D
