Thanks for looking and responding Steven.
In my own defense, the lighting was poor. I do have a cast that I draw from but this situation was different, the values weren't there since the light wasn't there and I didn't think I should make them up, I was trying to paint what I saw. Before you tell me not to paint in unacceptable conditions, sometimes any experience is better than none. I've learned to ask for better poses and lighting. I'd also like to get an adult model! I do have another pastel drawing of Sarah with a little better light source but won't post here since I don't want to post everything I have and have assumed from your recommendation to go to black and white that my skin tones are way off too.
Thanks again! Back to the drawingboard!
