The Artistic Voice?

Style. Technique. Whatever it is I've been analyzing and over-thinking how to find my "artistic voice." Through my art education, I've learned oil painting, scratchboard, digital art, watercolor...but I've always known, loved and worked with pastel. So a thought occurs to me--"Why aren't you perfecting your pastel techniques for illustration?" Very good question, since I have nearly 10 years experience working with pastel (yeah since 10 years old!) So, today begins my return to pastel work. Really exciting!

My early pastel work was pretty good for someone with no formal art training.
