Thank you for your comment. That was my first real attempt at drawing with oil pastels, and it was a really fun experience, so hopefully it's fun for you as well. Be sure to post your drawing when you finish it, because I'd love to take a look.

The main thing with oil pastels is drawing in tones, not lines, and blending the tones until you reach the desired result. They can also be layered if it is a darker color on top, as long as you don't lift too much of the pastel off of the paper while blending it. I recommend either a tissue or just the good old finger for blending, depending on the texture of paper. I found the best way to become familiar with them was to just draw a quick picture without reference, and just try to create the picture with a range of colors and tones, then move on to rendering a picture. Good luck, and most importantly, stick with it. What is art if you are actually fully satisfied with something you've done?
