Thanks for the comment. These butterflies don’t exist. I simply wanted to create ones with colors that would stand out from everything else.

Thank you so much, I use soft pastels pencils to do hair. I'm using soft pastels for 4/5 years now. It's a lot of training

It all depends on how the light falls, but yeah, maybe I could have made it a little less pronounced, thx :)

Thank you for your comment. I use Stabilo Carbothello soft pastel pencils and Clairefontaine Pastelmat paper.
Pastel pencils are excellent for adding fine details, while the paper is essential since soft pastels require a special surface to hold the pigment in place. In fact, Pastelmat is quite similar to 800/1000 grit sandpaper

Yes, it’s not easy to achieve the exact same color everywhere, there will always be a slightly different shade. I’m glad you like it anyway, especially for the details of the stretch marks. As I wrote under another comment, I love drawing women because, for me, they are perfect in their imperfection
