I am not well at the moment so I decided to do a little drawing that I could sit on my lap to work on.

 

I have shown the stages of my work for my group "The Progression and Phases of Pastel Drawings" I hope you like it!

 

Finished

The next day, it is good to leave a drawing that you think is complete until the following day, you will be able to see the drawing with fresh eyes and you will find more detail that is required.

I have found that I needed to touch up on the hair as it was too far back on her forehead and I have had to darken down her hair slightly and create more shadow. I really hope you like it, I have really enjoyed creating this drawing!
