Freebie Friday - Pencil and Pastel Patterns

Happy Friday!

Sorry for the lack of updates. It's been a busy couple of months!
If you'd like to say random day to day sketches and photos, you can follow me on Instagram (@mariya.olshevska) or Twitter (@mariyaolshevska)

Anyhow, here is a new texture pack - hand made patterns made with white pencil crayons and chalk pastels. =)

As always, feel free to use these resources for personal or professional projects but please:

Do not claim the original resource images as your own,
Do not redistribute commercially. Basically, don't save and sell the resources as your own, but by all means do share the link to this page with others. :)
Do not use these textures as a base to create your own stock art/resources.

And, as always, please feel free to share anything you've made with these resources with me. I'd love to have a look! =)

Pastel Proprieties

Here is an assignment for my Illustration Essentials class which came before the lino-cut one.

We had to do another self portrait, but this time use chalk pastels.

For mine I used: Koh-I-Noor chalk pastels + conte pencils + cream pastel paper

Again, it's not a physically realistic portrait of myself, but more of personality portraying kind. I portrayed myself as a character that could be found in a Jane Austen novel:)
Tea, pastries anyone?
