trying soft pastels for the first time ✦ Sennelier portrait set, Mungyo review ✦ 100 Heads Challenge

The second part in my 100 Heads Challenge series - and my first try with soft pastels as I try out a pack of 6 portrait colors by Sennelier and compare them with a set of Mungyo pastels, trying out different blending techniques and even pastel pencils...

The portraits today are scene studies of "The Haunting of Bly Manor" as the spooky mood of the coming autumn continues to inspire me.

Sennelier Light Tone portrait set : https://amzn.to/4ew0p6Z *
Mungyo pastels (aka the cheap ones) : https://amzn.to/4gIp8ae *
The fancier Mungyo pastels are the "Gallery Extra Fine Soft Pastel" which seem to have gone through a packaging re-design lately, but it's these ones : https://amzn.to/4dcK7yT * They're sold as single pastels in Korea, which is how I got mine.
Derwent Pastel pencils: https://amzn.to/4ez1WcF *
I'm using "French Gray Dark" https://amzn.to/3MStjT1 * and "Dark Sanguine"
