Description

I started this with loose strokes but ended up blending it just to save it.
Still finding it hard not to blend. Grrrrr
I hope you still find it to your liking. :roll:

Suddenly remember that I should've soften some edges. :roll:

Soft pastel and Carb-Othello pencil on Canson Mi-Teintes tinted paper
12"x16"

I changed the background color a bit...
added some details on his hat...
darkened the shadows around the eyes....
and softened some edges.
I hope it's much better now.

The skin tones, the green, and the magenta are so well balanced, work perfectly together. A really stong and beautiful rendering of an intense soul. I love it!!!
