In this Corona time, several enthousiastic pastellists choose to do the same subject. On facebook we share the results. This one (by me) was made on dark blue pastelmat, 15 1/2 x 22 cm, with Schmincke soft pastel and Stabilo and Caran d"Ache pastelpencils.

I love it. The colors are fantastic and the eyes are amazing. I find that you managed to give a gentler look to this usually fearsome looking monkey. Thanks for sharing.
