Working in soft pastels I built this up quite quickly. I quit when I saw that the proportions were wrong, my face is too long and my eyes too small. So I turned the page and started again.
The second pastel study was much better. The proportions were correct this time and I liked the modelling I'd achieved.
The mouth is too far right, the nose is a little too small, and I need to work on the chin, and a million other things that are wrong. But overall, I was happy with it.

But overall, I was happy with it.Time to change medium, so I stayed with the pastel colour pad I was working in and grabbed the brush pens. I started working in minute detail with the black, then I added the white. Next I worked over this with pale and a medium grey brush pens, adding shadows and modelling, and toning down some of the white.
Although I recognise that the last one I did yesterday would look good on my wall, I'm happiest with the fifth one.
