Great gallery I am really impressed by your use of light and tone. Are they pastel? Like this one and K#4 the best.

Thanks for your comment John. I am struggling to find a gallery that is interested and I am running out of room at home! This particular drawing is in pastel. The back is in terracotta 64B to give the warm glow. The front is in lighter terracotta with white conte pencil to sharpen the disappearing edges. I think there is a bit of orange in the hair but I can't remember, it was a commission and I haven't seen it for a while. The others are mostly white conte pencil. Love your gallery by the way.
