Your pastel work is good. Better than I could do by a long shot.

You're welcome. You're great at showing light and shadow in your work, something I have a bit of a problem with myself.

Thank you! I'll have to upload the pastel pic I drew of one of my cockatiels. (Thought it was already on here, apparently not.)

You're welcome! I love birds. I hope you don't mind if I review yours for reference for pastel drawings? No copies, just for anatomy and coloring.

Hi there, and a slightly-belated welcome to dA! I hope you're having fun on the site--it really is a great community!
You have a great start on your gallery--lots of diversity and talent there--"Mafia Me" had me laughing, not at the skills (I genuflect to anyone who can use pastels...or color of any sort!), but at the gentle "poke" you took at yourself! Thanks for the giggle!
Thanks, too, for taking time to visit, and for the kind words and the --so glad you liked the piece!

Thank you for the kind words! It was my first pastel drawing in about 20-25 years, with the previous one being a seascape I drew when I was about 10. I'm pretty good at poking fun at myself...eventually I should have a couple other "self" portraits as well.
If you ever do decide to try color, pastels seem to be an ideal transition medium from graphite or charcoal. I've always loved being able to blend and smooth pencils, and pastel is perfect for that.
Thanks again!

Thanks for the suggestion--I've never been much good with color of any sort (colored pencils, chalks, paints of any kind)--I haven't messed with pastels since I was a kidlette...but I also hate to buy a set of media, only to put it up on a shelf to gather dust after I abandon it! lol! You're quite welcome--this is really a very nice piece (and I personally think self-portraits are murderous-hard...so kudos on that, too!)!

No, thank you for sharing it with us! That's a fantastic piece, and it's so cool that Ray Park saw and liked it too!
