I’ve just finished drawing this pastel portrait, my first portrait of this year. I really love working with pastels! They are so soft and forgiving, and you can build up the layers step by step, which is how I love to work.
I must say I always find it hard to get an accurate image of a pastel portrait. This is the best I could get it, but in reality it’s way softer, more velvety…
Anyway, I’m really happy with the result and pastel definitely is one of my favorite mediums! 🙂
Pastel pencil, hard pastel, and soft pastel on watercolor paper.
