My first attempt at pastels. It's not finished, but I had an issue. See blog for details. In any case, this was more of me trying to learn how pastels worked on paper. Having learned, here it is:

^_^ I like the fire a lot, but I think the hair could do with a little more distinction. Pretty cool otherwise. =P Pastels are so messy, you avoided smudging well.
^_^ Keek!
I'm like that song stuck in your head; I come and I go, but never truly dissapear.
one tip i'd give you though when using pastels, is that it's best when using colour to avoid using black. I guess it's cause it clashes with the colours, or something.. but that's what my art teacher has always said.
But there's still tomorrow

Aye, I agree. The hair could use a bit of detail, a bit more life. But I am in awe because pastels = hard. xD
I think the proportions are nice, although the eye is a bit big. The flames are a nice touch as well. But you smudged the shirt! I see red mixed with green!
Haha. I'm just giving you a hard time. It's a lovely little painting, though. ^_^

I love the fire!
This is a really nice piece, and you made the pastels work for you--beautifully! Can ya teach me to use pastels?
I think could work on the jaw a bit, but other than that, I think it is georgeous!
I loved this piece, especially the fire but you should make the fairy's hair and outfit match it. Great job though!! I really liked this piece so keep on rollin'!
I will review for you! PM about it if you need one!
Hehe! I loved that effect with pastels, I am terrible with them.
Nice drawing! Love the background, the effects, etc. My only problem is the skin tone on the face, it seems a bit creepy. I like the site effect between the colours also, that has a great feel to it.
Can't say much about the paints and colors and all that, but I have seen a lot of paintings and if this is your first attempt then it is a worthy first attempt.
I'd say keep attempting because you can only get better and I'd love to see how you progress on here. Would be interesting to see it, b/c you obviously have some feel for what your doing!
O.o Me in pastels reminds me of leetah. Also, the skin tone is way off. o.o
