abstract pastel

Went to a DHAC class on abstract taught by Donna Ashley today that was a lot of fun. We started with a blind contour drawing of a portrait, outlined the most important lines in dark, then filled in with pastel.

This is one I did of Vale. Yes, I do know it is out of proportion...it's an abstract. Someone said it looked like he was an Avatar. When Vale saw it, he knew it was him... but he said, "My hair is brown." Didn't say a word about the blue-green skin, just the hair.
