Self Portrait in Shades
Polychromos and Pablo pencils on Bristol Vellum paper
Frida Kahlo in Pastel
My attempt at drawing Frida Kahlo in CarbOthello pastel pencil. I know it isn’t perfect, but I’ve only just started working with pastels (and only 5 weeks since I started drawing).
Portrait in Purple
Portrait of my son, drawn with Caran D’Ache Pablo pencils on Bristol Vellum paper. I found it was harder to get the detail on the vellum compared to the Bristol Smooth.
