since I posted anything, haven't had much inspiration lately. I managed to do this quick 12 x 9 sketch (though not as quick as I am used to) on charcoal paper using a variety of Rembrandt, Winsor & Newton, Mount Vision, Richeson Handmade, Unison, and Sennelier soft pastels, even though the palette I used is somewhat limited. I used the wrong color in certain areas of the sketch, but oh well, it is only a sketch. The posted image is slightly cropped.
