Interesting to see how it's done, especially since I do so little experimenting in different traditional art media myself. It's really impressive.

HUZZAH! I found it! It fell INTO what appeared to be a closed box, that should have been full of t-shirt making stuff, and was, in fact, empty. Lol. It works... but I haven't had time to scan anything yet. LOL!

Excellent tute...oh yes one must start with the eyes.
I hope you enjoyed the 4X, it's been ages since I had one of those(sigh)!!
Tigers look funny without the stripes

yip the eyes kinda watch you as you paint/draw/pastel-ise, so your underpressure to preform
Ah 4X .. I'll have one on your behalf Wendy
They do look funny with out the stripes huh

This is so helpful-thanks for posting it! I don't use gloves-sounds helpful. What kind do you use? Are they special pastel gloves?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I use disposable gloves.. like the surgicial kind... no special gloves
My hands are very sensitive, and they also help protect them.
