A Friend and a Book

For my drawing class we were assigned to do two portraits of friends or family members or someone like that, so I chose to do my two dormitory buddies I also decided to use something besides my usual charcoals, so I turned to my box chalk pastels. It was tougher in some ways to use them, but it also added a different sort of feel to the portraits that only color could bring.
So this is sitting on the floor in my room reading from her sociology textbook, if I remember correctly. I like how it turned out well enough, when it comes to the colors (and how I managed to use all the primaries) and the look of it all, but the problem is that it doesn't look like Rexy at all (I'm sorry!)! I don't even know why it doesn't, that's the weird thing.
