This is pastel drawing I made a few sessions ago at Manifest. It's been tacked to the wall for months and I felt it was time to take it down. The piece as a whole wasn't stellar, but I was happy enough with the face.

It's especially gratifying when I can capture the essence of the person with a few well-laid strokes.
