Nu Ts. I hate drawing errors! The problems here are: eyes a little too close together, and the infranasal depression is off to the side a bit.
But, I did like the style and application of the medium, so there you have it. It is a start in getting back to portraiture. BTW, there is a dab of pastel in this, too.
The infranasal depression??? Jeez, you sound like an ENT psychologist. Or at least like a picky portraitist. But that's okay. Do what you gotta do to to take us down this exciting new road. I for one can't wait to see the people you run in to!

A blog about all things pastel. The backstory on the "medium of pigment," interviews, technique, featured artists, and my own art. "Pastel" is a new box of eye-candy, full of possibilities and waiting for the creative touch of the artist.

Thanks for looking here, Sam. I will get the kinks worked out - half of the battle is seeing them!
