Portrait finished

Finally finished the portrait of my friend. Pastels 7" x 10" on Ingress paper. Had trouble with the hand as its the first time I`ve included a hand in a portrait. The picture this is from was taken when he took a break from landscaping his garden hence the dirty fingers.
Will be starting my next piece over the next few days. It is going to be a Leopard but I am not sure yet if I should give the velour paper another try or stick with Ingress paper.
