Pastel Process

So I'm taking a pastel drawing class this semester, and it turns out it's a very interesting medium. It's more forgiving than I thought actually, and it's colorful!
I decided to take pictures of my process since it's a new medium for me and I'm sharing it here. It's basically what I took from Bill Maughan's demos and explanations plus the addition of different colors, which he hasn't covered in class yet, where we're kind of still supposed to use flesh tones.

Not dead, still breathing

Been a while since I posted, so here's a couple new paintings, the nudes, from class with Zhaoming and then a painting of Hsin Yao I did last semester, which will inspire one of the characters for my (future) book project.

Thx for stopping by (san diego... lol)!
