Jessiecat
Pastel on Paper, 70cm X 50cm.
Portrait of Jessie, also called Cat or Katt :P
A step away from my usual lack of props, which is because as I always maintain I work with my models, so the parasol and such where her idea of how she wanted to show herself.
Now the burnt out has past, I think I likes it.
Looks much sharper then I remember it being, when you are in the zone to draw something like this you see nothing but faults.
Paid an arm and a leg for a pro photo, it’s pretty freaking sharp.

I think this is amazing!! Truly. The hand is phenomenal. Her ring, the elastic in her hair…the details are brilliant. I can’t believe this is pastel, it’s so life-like! I don’t think you have a thing to worry about here.

I’m just currently frustrated with not getting a clean shot, lost quite a lot of detail.
I shall try again however.

thanks. Pastel is really one of teh better mediums for this sort of thing if you ask me, nice combo of sharp edges and easy blending.
Btw I’ve updated the photo now, has a bit more detail.
