Pastel portrait, and my first post.




Hello. I have been lurking here for some time and I am amazed by the skill and talent here. This is my first post here and my first pastel portrait ever.
Since this is my first time working with pastels I decided to go with black and white to get a feel for the medium. I am not really sure if this is finished or not. I had originally intented to contine the shirt down and include the subjects hand (his arms are crossed) but I love the way some portraits look unfinished. My question is: Should I continue with the shirt or call it done and start something new?
Any comment and critiques are very welcome. And I look forward to learning a lot from all of you talented artists.
Oh, and this is 15"X18" on Stonehenge gray.
