"Moonchild". Oil pastel on A3 field pad. My first attempt at using pastels. Inspired by the Chris Cornell song of the same name which is one of my favourite songs of his.

    Cool sky, looks like there is a 'swirling pattern' in the sky.  Did you add the white 'dots' after you colored the dark background?

    yeah, did the black then just did the starts last.
    The swirls were unintentional, I used my thumb to smear the black oil pastel across the paper.
