Pastel portrait of girl and baby opossum

This is a commissioned portrait that I just finished using pastel. Been awhile since I used pastel and it had it's challenges. At the bottom of the post is the pastel drawing in stages before I reached the finished version.

Sorry for the lack of updates lately. Been very busy but basketball is over and I'm feeling very productive!

More Soon!

Stay tuned more to come!

The Joy Stone sketches part 1

Just started a new fun little project illustrating a children's book called the Joy Stone by Reta Allen. The book is a about an indian princess that goes on a journey with animal friends in search of happiness. The first sketch is just a quick sketch of Princess Sighing Dove. The second sketch is of the Princess having a conversation with a turtle. I'm doing 3 to 4 specs for the book before it goes to the publisher.
