Description I seem to have trouble coming up with serious titles for any of my classwork but this is what I've been calling this piece in my head.

In a follow up to two weeks of figure drawing, our next task was to draw a skeleton still life. I had finished early with the charcoal and since we still had two class periods left, that was when I thought about using the color pastels together in a mixed media!

I learned a few things here, one was that it was easier to use pastels before using charcoal, and not vice versa. It was still lots of fun though and I love the end product this time! It's one of my favorite pieces from this class.

I'm never able to get all the little ribs in the rib cage and end up making things up.

ooooh this came out so nice! i like the idea of using pastels with charcol to brighten things up a bit! especially with the torso of a skeleton! the yellow and purple were a good color combo too~
