Pastel drawing

It's been a while. I've been really busy drawing and less busy with updating.
Here are some pastel drawings. These were 40 minute drawings from live models:

We get mostly female models, which is kind of limiting. Although I do really enjoy drawing women, so it's not a total loss. I have more of these up in my fine art flickr album. Drawing from life is really informative, but tiring. I also prefer digital because I don't like to get covered in mess. I know, that's pretty ridiculous isn't it? If you saw the state of my apartment you'd tell me it was obvious I have no aversion to mess whatsoever.
