Ducklings in Derwent Pastel Pencils

I feed some wild ducks that live one block from my apartment in Miami. It cannot be easy to be wild life in Miami! These ducks embody strong survival instincts. One of the ducks recently had a bunch of ducklings.
I took some photos and used the photos for reference for this pastel pencil drawing.

Do you have any tips on working with pastel
pencils? It is so different from the Prismacolored
Wax pencils. I had problems with smearing. And the burnishing process was totally different than with the Prismacolored premier pencils.
