Traditional Illustrations
In my pastel and charcoal artwork, I focused on achieving a fully saturated look while respecting the soft feel of pastels. I like to work in a large scale to better explore the details in my work, particularly hair and eyes; because of this, most of my pieces were fairly large, up to 4 feet in length. This is one of the reasons why I slowly migrated to working digitally a few years ago, which allows me to work in a fairly large format from my small living room (and no more storage space issues!)
I still create the odd charcoal portrait... sometimes I miss the dirt. :)
I hope you enjoy the slideshow below.
