Is it just me, or was this week’s #PortraitChallenge hard to draw?

I struggled with the likeness, but at some point I stopped worrying about it and started enjoying the process.

Joined the #PortraitChallenge because the Lily Elsie reference was just too lovely. I wasn't aware of the format, so I probably exceeded all time limits :/

Work in progress, still figuring out pastels 🎨🖌️
