The Unusual Deer Skull - in Chalk Pastels

I like this chalk version much more, and not just because of learning my lesson from last time and scaling it down a little more, but because when you're using chalk, it forces you to let a little of the background colour through, and that's way more interesting. I especially like the yellowy highlights that I included thanks to having to borrow a different table lamp - normally when I draw, I like to have a white light. You'd expect any colour but white on such a subject to be included only to describe shadows, but not here!
