Illustration Friday - 'Portrait'


The IF theme this week is 'portrait'. I've posted a few of my self portraits on here but here's a different one. This is a small pastel (A5 size) on black pastel paper of a man from Niger, West Africa.

like the way the paper texture comes thru the pastels adds to the mood of the piece, nicely done
