Hello all,
Well, I feel funny posting this clumsy portrait with all the beautiful pastels everyone's been posting here lately.
First my own fault finding

His right hand is probably not very good. Not sure what to do with it, perhaps have him pose his hand differently? Also for some reason it looks kind of cartooney to me, does it look that way to anyone else? The lines are actually straight on the wall the paper is just curled and wont lay flat. And lastly, his ear needs work... and probably numerous other things.
This is done on black canson mi-tientes the whole sheet so 19 x 25. And accidently on the rough side (will never do that again).
It's from a picture I took when my husband, Santiago, and I were having our last drink in Belgium before we moved to France. I've been really struggling with it since February and I am ready for this sweet face to be finished!
Thanks for looking.
