Multi-media pictures

Once upon a time, I would not do entire pieces in pastels, especially when there was a figure or high amount of details involved. Looking at the two horse pictures below, the combination of color pencil and pastel can make for some neat effects, but ultimately, not very satisfying. I always wanted a more integrated feel to the work. Since I have begun using softer pastels (Unison and Sennlier) and workable fix, I have been able to achieve the desired effect and do much more layered work. The drawback is that my color pencils have sat, undisturbed for quite some time. Perhaps it is time to do something about that.
