Me in Pastels

Published:

Description

Some more work from Figure Drawing class this summer.

Now, here is my bane of existence: chalk pastel. I do not care for it. Maybe because I use really chalky and lower grade pastels as opposed to NuPastel from Prismacolor, but I don't care for it. Or maybe it's color, I dunno. This was a homework assignment; to draw a self-portrait. Does it look like me? Well, after 2 failed attempts I didn't care. I felt the vine charcoal line drawing looked pretty kosher until I added the pastel and charcoal to the work.

If anyone is inquiring, I tried to be clever and have a picture-with-a-picture. The actual pic of me is the mirror reflection. The unfinished thumb you see in the foreground is my actual thumb. See? I was going for it, but was too agitated to complete the idea.

Drawn from life.
Media: Pastels and Charcoal on 18" x 24" 80 lbs. Drawing paper.
