This is my pastel rendition of a painting I am calling the Blacksmith. I particularly liked the light in the sketch I created and I tried to bring in that light which was generated by the window, the fire in the grate and also a door to the left hand side. Some of the perspective is a bit wonky but I can live with that. I haven't attempted to draw the features of the mans face but the tonal contrasts are suggesting the details nicely.
