Hi there.🙂 Here’s my latest drawing (along with the reference photo). It’s in soft pastels. I’ve used just black and white color on a gray pastel paper. I don’t have blending stomp, so for the large areas I’ve used my figers and for small ones (like eye) I’ve used the small sticks you use to clean your ears with. 😄 They work fine for me. Actually I’m quite happy with how the drawing turned out. If you have any suggestions, feel free to share them with me.

Yeah, I’ve painted this for my ex collegue, who is a really special person. 😊

Love it, very good perspective. Like you could get a wag from him.

Thank you everyone for your lovely comments.🙂 It’s been a pure pleasure to draw this, and it didn’t take much time either. About 3h of work.
