Elephant Pastel Drawing

I never know if pastel art should be called a drawing or a painting.  Any thoughts?

Pastels are fairly new to me and I’m still trying to get the hang of it.  I’m used to painting with acrylics.

This is a new piece of oil pastel art I completed today of an elephant. It is 6″ x 8″.  I just listed it as an auction on eBay here
