First sketchbook

Hi all,

Been browing through these forums for a while now and finally came round to posting some of my recent work at last. I haven't had any formal training at all so basically I'm just practising with different mediums whenever I find some time.

These are some recent figure studies I did using pastels. Of course please feel free to crit as much as you like - happy to learn new stuff as always

Thanks for looking

Thanks for the comments! Great to receive feedback from fellow artists.

Oma: I can see what you mean. I'm working off photo refs so I'm guessing I might have missed the depth quality from painting live models? Don't know...
