This piece is beautiful. Naturally the model in the reference has a glowing skin tone and you have recreated that so wonderfully! I find I still have trouble working shading and skin tones, but it's all about the practice. I've never used pastels before either, seems like it could be a fun medium to work with. Maybe I'll try it out one day and surprise myself!

Thanks a lot for the dear comment! Yes, it's all about practice, every painting is a practice. I've always been interested in drawing human faces, so I keep on exploring the light and shadow play on the skin. :)
Try pastels, you'll be amazed how easy it applies and how fast you can see the result.
