This is a great place to rub elbows. I wonder how many of you here are doing pencil, pastel or charcoal portraits, or if you began your career here.

It is odd, but the time I have been spending on what used to be such a basic form, seems to be taking me twice to three times the work and total hours as either oil or pastel. It is very labor intensive. I would love comments on this dilemma.

Thanks,
