Description
OK, I decided to enter the contest, thanks to everyone who encouraged me! 
I made this drawing as a support for "Breast Cancer Awareness". Also I would like to participate the big contest "Think pink lV Contest" (traditional category) [link]
Unfortunately the pink color doesn't show clearly like in real life, the scanner kills it or something!
Used pastel pencils, which is my first whole portrait using only pastel!
It's hard to control them
I like them and hopefully I'll practice more with using themβ¦
A special thanks for the sweet and Beautiful *PlastikStars for allowing me to use some photos as references from her amazing gallery

Photographer: Fernon
Hope to use her as a model for more drawings with time!

You should totally enter this hunny! Wow, I think it's truly one of your best! You are so good with pastels. I can't use it at all. I just make it big ol' mess.
I love how warm and silky her skin looks. Her eye is so full of emotion. I can't tear my eyes away from it!
And I love how you colored the ribbon. It has so much movement in it. This is truly beautiful my friend!

well if you think I should, then I will!!
oooh I wish you see me when I draw by pastels, I make so much messss! 
I'm really really happy that you think that her skin looks good and silky, because I didn't know what are the right colors to use for the skin! and yes I did a lot of mess on it hehehe, but I did my best! thank you very much my dear friend!

You must definitely enter it, because it's truly beautiful!!
Ahaha, I wish I could visit you and watch you draw! I just know that I will be able to learn so much from you! 
I love the colors you used on her skin! It's so hard to find the right skin color pencils here. I live in a very small town and I struggle to find decent pencils.
You are most welcome my friend!

those words means the world to me, nobody tell me that before!
oh me too, my country doesn't have a lot of art stores but if there was one it so expensive, so I have to buy them from another countries near us, you know?! that what bugs me off, they don't care that much about art, all what they care about is money!

Aww, it's my absolute please hunny! You are such an amazingly talented artist and the sweetest friend!
Yes, we have only one little art store and I can't afford anything there. Were all the pencils ok when you ordered them? I'm so scared to buy from another country and they all arrive broken. Lol.
And yes, our country is exactly the same. It's all about money!

can't thank you enough!
well I ask anybody I knew (family and friends) who plans to visit any country near us to bring with them some pastels and charcoals, and they do bring to me

No need to thank me sweetheart! It's always a pleasure.
Wow, that helps a lot! I will try to buy me some pencils online in the future. Mine are so old and so tiny. Lol.

AWESOME!!! I love it!!! And I love your style with a part of face and the pink loop.
Or in you other works, the mix of black/white and color.

wow thank you very much my dear friend!
hehehe the mixed portrait is easier to me by using pencil for the skin but coloring the skin by pastel is hard actually
thank you honey I'm really glad that you liked both of styles!
