I'm new to soft pastels, but I think I "get" them. I'm able to work with them and get the blending and detailing I want. Here's the second raven piece I did.
My inspiration was this photo by Key Gross.

The piece attracted me because of the foreshortening and the blur of focus. I wanted to challenge myself with this blur. I also wanted to work with a palette very different from what I see in the photo.
Here are the progress photos.




Prints are available for sale, if you are interested.
