Very nice portrait, Barbara :D It is nice to see this smiling face filling up the page as it is a very classical type of portraiture that makes use of the primary part of a canvas ! And I love the patterning and colours you have placed into this face, it creates a friendly and unusual alien's visage <3

The pastels are really lovely here, I think its thickness and simpler tones create a more whimsical and playful finish <3 Very cute !!!
