Beau

This is a fun series of photos of the portrait I'm doing of Beau for Tomi. I used chalk pastel on a board that had a lot of tooth to it.


I started out by sketching in the shapes and filling in color areas, rubbing and blending the colors into the board.


I continue to fill in the color areas, getting more detailed with the shadows and highlights, defining shapes and details.

Then started working the details with the hard pastel, not blending it but using the edge to define lines and shapes.



Viola! The finished drawing.
