Challenge 34: Michael Burnham portrait

[mekare]

Title: A strange and distant land
Artist: mekare
Rating: G
Fandom: Star Trek Discovery (season 3, but nonspoilery)
Character: Michael Burnham
Content Notes: I used Ingrès paper for this which I hadn't used in a looong time (last time for a pastel course around 2014?). I used black ink and a white gel pen. I think this was the hardest challenge in this comm I have ever done. Figuring out the mid-tones was a nightmare and I think I overdid it with the highlights. Anyway, it was a great learning experience which I will repeat! Oh, and I took a photo in sunlight that's why there's this light on the left.

Love, love, love the folds and details in his clothes.

Thank you! I worked hard on those folds while being annoyed at clothes in general *g*. And despite the name, Michael is a woman.
