Thanks a lot Jimmie!

Even though I have somewhere around 100 pastels, I only used about 4 different flesh colors for this portrait.

It took me a while to get used to the edge on a pastel stick. I probably should have sharpened my semi-hard sticks to a point, but I didn't want to waste pastel!

P.S. I don't appreciate my work, but I do appreciate my progress. I suppose that is what really matters.
