Pastel sticks pt. 1 I'm back to drawing! And I really didn't want to sketch for so long because I finally had the braincells today to continue my papers so I made use of my pastels and the usual 2 hours drawing time. @Saha99saha this is what me and @Schire was telling you earlier about blending since you already have pastel stick there plus you can actually do this trick with crayons since they're both waxy medium
Had to sketch my goldfish because I didn't want have flowers to draw ;-; for pastels and crayons, you really have to start with the darkest shade of the color because you'll use the lighter colors for blending it in
Like so. Oof the orientation is flipped over again ;-; but the transition in colors is still visible at least
See? I used the darkest orange, orange, yellow orange then peach to blend it all together and also the lightest color is there to give the object more texture. You'll need to return to the other shades too for the details, of course
I drew it in it's aquarium π so you can see that i blended a lot of colors here with only the stick, didn't need anything else
So this is how it finished up. I was getting sleepy to even bother giving the rocks and the ground more details than it already has

Thank you
You are welcome, friend
I have pastels here but never used. Before I like drawing but easily get bored as well... my sister is better in art. She even know how to paint and won the contest at her schol last year.
I never got bored of it, it just became habitual for me to draw and all but it's good that your sister kept going. at. It though ^-^ congrats to her win!
Yeah, but i don't have enough time for that and get bored and lazy every day off... but I have sketches and drawings at home
I'd love to see those sketches of yours though ^-^ i think they'll be good too
It's great. I learn about pastels more from this art. I will try it on my next art.π
Yess! I would love to see you get better at pastels β€ you're good with colors too so it would be amazing to see
Yes dear. Today I teach many things from your art. I hope I will apply this teach in my next art.π
You really are good at this medium. I really like the 3rd photo, it has a pretty aesthetic look to itπ
Looks like a blind fish though? But thank you. This is usually the only medium allowed in competitions tbh so I was trained well with pastel ;-; i still don't like it much though
Cool! You must've entered numerous competitions when you are still studying. I always wanted to learn how to use pastels but I can't bc its scent makes me really nauseous.
I was forced to. The lack of people who could draw in my batch was real π pastels don't have smell? If they do, it smells waxy though.. which ones did you even try using?
Hahahaha lucky they got some artsy batchmateπ Well, I have a strong sense of smell that's why. I've tried using different brands of pastel and all of em has the same weird scent differs only on how strong the scent is.
Sad for me cuz i was always the only choice. Ahh so that's why. You don't use a gas mask? I do that when i use paints because i can't stand the smell of those
And guess what, you're the greatest choice they could sent to the competition coz you're skilled. I've only tried using cloth masks but still can't stand it, maybe I'm imagining the scent or I'm just crazyπ. I'd rather smell the scent of paintπ
I only started winning.. by the later half of my second year. The judges never allowed me to bring other mediums so it sucked for me. Hmm... maybe you just have a different scent preference. The paint smell just makes me dizzy plus i don't wanna became infertile π
I see. Why not allow you? Is it indicated that you'll only use a specific medium? Hahahaa. Yeah right, that's also why I've never tried using paint in arts specially spray paints.
I don't know? I think it was just for uniformity and fairness though i work best with paint and pens more than anything I love spray paint though! But i guess digital arts is your true calling
Wow!! Really so beautiful!!πππ your every art is very beautiful.. β₯β₯
Thank you ^-^ i haven't gotten to that dark theme you requested though but I'll work on it soon
It's ok. I'm waiting.πβ₯
I'll be waiting to see your next art pieces too. I got shookdt earlier
I will present my next art very soon. Thank you for always supporting me like this.β₯
I love meeting new artists, it's cool to see people's unique drawing style tbh
Yes, me too. I like your art a lot. I'm waiting for you to present your new art again.π€β₯
I'll hope my brain doesn't get used up by my papers tomorrow so that I'll still have energy to draw ...or maybe I'll just get coffee again π I've been wanting to draw something inspired by someone's writing again
Okay, no problem. You take your time. Anyways How is your health now?
Well i have my 2 hours me time daily so that's enough time
Yesss that's it. You nailed it as always. π
I'd like to request you trying pastels too! I wanna see how you draw on this medium β€
Ohh sure. I'll try when I'm free again. Will post if I finished one. ππ
Omg yess! I'll be waiting for that!!!
Thank you. Huhu I've been working on digital art more due to some projects, but I miss drawing using traditional media these days. Hopefully I can do that within this week.π
Ohh projects. You need to do those first though, finish what you have to, we're not going anywhere UwU
Aww thank youu. π My eyes are hurting from too much looking on the screen hahaha. If I did have time to do it, I will post and tag you. Thank you for always inspiring people to do art. π
It's never a good idea to stare at a screen for that long though- Ohh this is definitely something to look forward to. And i aim to make art and science prosper here, I need to start on science stuff again soon ;;-;;
Ohh right, please if you have time I want to read science-related articles. ππ
I was planning on doing that today but my brain got burned out so i distracted myself with my fish until i ended up drawing it just for a release π i wanted to write about brain and stress eating
Haha art really is one of the best ways to remove stress. Keep writing articles like this, any topic that you write is worth-reading.π
I wonder about them all being worth reading but i just write at random
Is this are painting i thought it is realππ very nice painting
It's made from pastels, dear ^-^ maybe i should have put the picture of my fish there for comparison
haha you should!
Definitely will later ^-^
