Horse Portrait progress

I am happy with the progress I've achieved so far on this portrait, considering this is larger commission than usual for me.  You can see my pastel pencils at the bottom of the image for size comparison.

  4. Thank you Hilda! The portrait is almost entirely done using pastel pencils. I use a white NuPastel stick to lay down the white basecoat and everything else on top is pencil.
