Pastel Portrait, Ken

Today, in the studio I did this 12x9, Pastel/ La Carte Sanded Paper of Fidgety McFidget, uhm, Ken that is ... Sitting with his right side facing a North lit window, I tried to get the effect as I saw it of the Northern light illuminating the side of his face. For my second attempt at a pastel portrait, I learned a bit more about my process in layering the colors and remembering patience in the highlights.... all of which I will apply in the next one. I have assured him the next one will go faster, in half the time.... wink.
