# Thanks for the hummus!
Not sure how to edit the pic though with a CFB once it's already been posted...
I posted a small sized file on the host to keep the size down, and after I read your kind post, when I hit EDIT, I wasn't sure how to delete the current image and replace with a thumbnail with the 'CFB'...

# just upload a bigger one
and stick a link in your original thread, use that little edit tab under your image, it's the easiest way to do it.

pic is superb btw, but don't you get through pastels a lot quicker using this technique, and the dust!!!

# Yes, you do tend to use a little more pastel
But because most of my work is A4 sized, it's not a huge hardship. I apply the fixative pretty frequently to prevent smudging, but dust does tend to build up if you don't vacuum it up every now and then.

Unfortunately, blowing the pics up to be huge doesn't necessarily look as good, as the whole texture thing tends to get a bit lost in the up-scale.

# hehe.
shame about the bigger one losing definition, but it still looks good, you have a promising career drawing on pavements outside a tube station ahead of you:)

# Ha ha!
Yeah, probably as far as my artistic career will go! Meh, it's all enjoyment anyway.
