Pastels, watercolour pencils, charcoal and pencil art

I've only really started 'learning' to draw in the last few years (mostly off rather than on) but I'm hoping now to keep it up.

Hey, these are a nice starting point. Are they from life or photographs?

I think my favorite of these is the black and white cat with its dramatic lighting. Those eyes are beautiful!

Pastel has a really steep learning curve. I went to a workshop to get some real instruction because I was so lost with it.
