Bullet; Purple YES I've submitted a new drawing! Haha I had told you that it would be hard for me this year to keep submitting!

Anywayyy
I've decided to use pastels for once, and awww I'm just loving them! Pastels are so much different than watercolours but I looove doing lights and shadows with them, the technique is quite different since you can start with the darkest colours and then put the lights whereas this is impossible with watercolours ;p I think I'll work with them again soon (when I'll have the time haha). Even if my hands don't really like my pastels, they're always so dirty when I'm finished with my drawings :XD:
Hope you'll like it, and you're all doing great after all this time!

I really love the choice of green and it's true pastel-ness (now a word for you to use, you're welcome lol)

I love his tired/near closed eyes. I love when birds do that.
And hey I'm struggling to get art done aswell, I feel ya! 

Pastels are messy but are quite the medium, I'd probably try pastel pencils at some point but true pastels for me are fun for experimentation and to look at by some artists ive seen in exhibitions but... unfortuntely, not my style...
have fun :)
hope to see some more of these from you!
