Look into my Eye!

David Allen

A pastel sketch loosely following the guidance provided by Becky Gouverneur in her Levelling Up tutorial. I didn’t have the charcoal blocks so used a mix of pan pastels, soft pastel sticks and pastel pencils.
Pan Pastels, SAA soft pastels and Faber Castel pastel pencils on Pastelmat paper
