I'm such a huge fan or your style.
I love how every piece is different even though they're the same.
It's so hard picking a favourite.
You've inspired another AS level student
It's crazy what you can do with pastels and paint.
May I ask what you draw it on though? I noticed you said it's almost lifesize and that's the kind of size I'm looking to work on.

thank you very much for the compliments! and i like your avatar by the way. the pastel drawings were done on paper that i bought from dick blick art supplies. it came in rolls that were 36 inches wide by several hundred yards long.

Hahahaha. That's a hell-of-a-lot of paper.
I live in the Middle East so they don't have much except the mere basics. Do you know the name of the stuff?
I can't even find an ordinary spiral-bound sketchbook here. I wish there was some kind of site that delivered this stuff.

Wow, that site is insane! Thank you SO much.
I'll definitely tell my art teachers about this. They may be iffy since it has to fly over seas and stuff but I mean, it's better than what they sell around here.
Thanks a lot.

well its kinda like highschool. we got Art Lessons at our college and the coursework is based around studiy of other artists development of ideas and then finally bringing them together for a final piece.we usually get themes we have to go by.
Right now mine are freedom and interrelationship. and i recon your pic does interelationships really well, we spent like 2 weeks studing things like this
