Neil Young,pastels on black velour.This looks much smoother in person,the scan really does not show the blends well...oh well my scanner sux pretty bad anymore,plus this black velour does not seem to be as forgiving as the lighter colors,my Willie Neslon drawing was this way too..I drew this after watching Neil Young's Heart of Gold movie I recommend it highly.I may work on this more,there is alot more room to do something else on the paper I just cropped this to his face.
