Portrait of a young woman

Soft pastel on 9x12 brown paper. A first try on a Sennelier soft pastel, and I'm amazed on the brilliance of the pigments. It wasn't a breeze ride since soft pastels sticks are basically blunt and too soft, it's hard to be pointy acurate on application. If it were a pastel pencil it would be a different story.

I'm an emerging artist with above average passion trying to squeeze-in time to draw and paint. My goal for now is to explore my capacity on different styles and mediums that will define my identity as an artist. I'm not trying to spread myself on different things all at one time, but I rather focus on a calculated method of exhausting my energy on one thing at a time that I see fit for the time being that I see myself moving forward.

On some posts I would include work-in-progress photos, and would throw some discussions on how I did it for the benefit of viewers who are interested in learning and creating art on their own.

If you like my work, I appreciate your comments. Constructive criticism are also welcome. Suggestions and tips are like bacon to my enthusiasm. Thank you for taking the time. Happy Drawing!
