Regarding pastels, Elizabeth, I use them in courtroom drawing, to the great puzzlement of my courtroom artist collegues. Most of them use watrercolor and pens. I smear like crazy the whole paper with soft pastel backgrounds, and then go in and detail with conte. I always smudge with pastel, but never with pencil. Just a personal preference.
This week, I worked for all the major networks, CBS, ABC, CNN, and Fox news, covering the Al Qaida cell suspects arrested in Portland. It was great fun. I will be up there quite a bit for this case.
