Pastel portrait

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.

  1. Great portrait! The pastels give it a very soft look, almost like a dream. Really enjoying your blog, long time reader but first time commenting.
