"Simple Observation" - 21

You know, I'm really starting to like pastel:

(Pastel on 65-lb black paper)

Especially when it comes to drawing simple things, like this character. The texture of the medium adds an interest factor, whereas a digital painting/drawing of this same subject would likely not draw more than a quick glance. The imperfection and roughness that wielding large, chunky pieces of pastel provides is quite interesting.
