Soft pastel portrait

This is my final project, I'm not really too thrilled with it, I have also put in the drawing that I did using the same reference image as Chris which I feel much happier with. I have a very limited set of pastels, there are no subtle colours at all, just one pink, which is a baby pink, no greys, no soft colours so this feels much too strident. I did however enjoy using the pastels and the way in which they sit on the surface of the paper. These are all done on Fabriano mixed media paper.
