I'm changing my palette in figure studies to focus more on pushing my grey skin tones.  I'm also using a surface that I really, really love.  The colourfix pastel fine-grain pastel boards.  They take a lot of pastel, like most sanded paper, but they don't chew up your pastels like larger grained sanded paper and they allow for more blending.  Great surface.

Since this photo, I corrected the drafting somewhat, slightly larger head and raised her right breast slightly, but not very noticeably.  I am always challenged to accurately capture a pastel with a camera.  Colors are not as subtle despite changes to aperture and adjustment in photoshop to match the painting.  Oh well, the struggle continues.

Critique welcome.  Thanks.
