Pastel Experiment - Brisby

Don't worry guys, I'm not just going to draw this character non-stop for the rest of forever. But some of you may remember a while back I bought a set of pastels, toyed with them briefly and then never touched them again, heh. Well, I recently noticed while fiddling about that pastels actually seem to work quite well on regular printer paper, and I wanted to play around with the idea of actually making a painting out of them. Since I've been having fun with the character anyway I figured I'd give it a go...

A smarter person than me would probably have spent some time trying various effects with pastel and getting a feeling for how they work. I'm not a smart person however, so I decided to just dive in and see what happens.

Result is a bit lame, I really have no idea how to control pastels and everything just ended up blended into oblivion. But it was my first attempt at a pastel drawing so I figured I'd toss it up anyway. It sucks not having much to post aside from headshot doodles, so here we are.

Anyway, this was a fun little distraction I guess... back to studying. D:
