Pastel Portrait

My first traditional painting: Charcoal under-drawing + fixative, everything beyond that was done with pastels.

Took a lot of effort getting the values/proportions right or somewhat right, the construction paper I used was becoming pulp in some areas moreover the medium hasn't been very detail-friendly so far therefore I had to make some compromises here and there.

I think isn't that bad, it also looks better irl imo.

Part of the process and the under-drawing are posted on my tumblr.
