Every year in November, the Wetcanvas portrait forum holds an international portrait swap. Last year, I did an oil painting of Melissa from Michigan, USA.
This year I was partnered with Edgar who studies at Meadowbank TAFE less than 5 minutes from my house! Not terribly international but that’s the way the chalk pastel crumbles.
Hmmm… anyway, here are the progress shots of my pastel drawing of Edgar.
Preliminary sketch
Blocking in some colour
More colour
More colour & character
Edgar finished
I also did a charcoal drawing of him for good measure:

I haven’t yet received the portrait he has done of me… looking forward to seeing how that turns out!
