great start at the pastels! looks like you could improve fast! there's only some minor problems in the drawings, proportion wise. I think i've seen u before at the AAU but I could be wrong though cuz I stopped my studies there...it sucks.

That'll be why they're highly recommended. Intensive classes always get better results than more laid back ones (unless you;re one of the few who can push themselves at that pace without someone telling them to)

Salah: Very nice pastel work. Makes me want to pull out my old set and give them another try

I like the purple hues in the first one! These are awesome pieces. I think you should do more female portraits.
