I was positive I could resist drawing something for a few days but my sisters drawing in front of me was the biggest temptation of my day. So I took an hour off from my paper to teach her pastels while I tried to make something with it despite how much I dislike this medium so much
Time start: 10:32 pm
Time End: 11:33pm
The thing with working with this medium is that it works the opposite from most mediums wgere you start with light colors. Here, you'll have to start with the darkest shade then work from there until you get to either gray, white or whatever is the lightest shade on your image
Like with here. I started off with black, then blue, then I blended the colors with gray. The ideal coloring style here is that it should be colored in solidly, no gaps because that would show the unblended part of your picture.
Here I purposely left in some gaps because those would be spots where I'll be blending in the colors. The rest is solidly colored in, as seen.
I mostly used gray to blend in the colors, and also to show a sort of soft glow around the light bulbs. I also colored in some stray bulbs off in the distance so that I wouldn't actually color those in too.
So after an hour, this was the most I managed. Working with pastel is faster, sure but I really hate how messy this medium is on both my hands and on the paper. Stay tuned to see if I'll finish this tomorrow 😂😂😂 (of course I will. My mild OCD won't let me off if I don't) anyways, that's all from me for tonight. It is 15 minutes to midnight and I am sure someone will be mad because I'm still awake
Adding a little style is really the fun part of it all for me.
