Great first pastel!
Julie,
Great first effort, fresh and colorful and especially not muddy. A trifecta!
I do agree with Allan about the nose, the area right next to the eye is a tad sharp. Squint and you will see how the nose shadow is actually more or less one shape going a little darker at the upper bridge near the eye.
If you continue to use the Canson ( I would not) use the other side.
The reason for NOT using Canson is that the color of the papers are fugitive, ie. they will fade and discolor with time. Use a high quality pigmented rag paper or tint rag or Wallis with a quality watercolor.
