Drawing a Pet Portrait | Soft Pastels & Pastel Pencils

I recently created Odin's portrait using soft pastels & pastel pencils on 40x50cm Pastelmat board. The client was kind enough to allow me to record the process & upload it here to UA-cam & Patreon (where you can find the full real-time process video). I've been lucky enough to be commissioned to draw hundreds of pets all over the world so I thought it might be helpful to share my soft pastel drawing process here.
