Description I have made a pastel tutorial, because some people have
asked me to do so and I could not even find a pastel tutorial at
DA, which quite surprised me. There were some links, but you know what they say: out there be monsters
What a lovely surprise to be on DA facebook's frontpage.
The amount of comments is heartwarming.
I will answer all in time, and thank you very much
And now a DD as well, oh wow Thank you so very much

These are the pastels I use
Soft pastels
Hard pastels

Bubo virginianus, Great Horned Owl.

The lovely reference picture is from
Thank you Nuna for letting me use it.

Having left the comment on your page I had to put the tutorial in my favourates. It is good to see people explain their art, rather than keep their secrets to themselves. There is satisfaction in sharing comments and advice and seeing peoples artwork evolve, rather than grabing what you can and making sure you don't give anthing away to the competition. I have noticed very few people leave comments when selecting favourates { I have just posted an eagle and in a day had 27 favourates and 1 comment, still don't know why this picture was so popular, and the 1 comment had not selected the picture as a favourate..... }. Thanyou for sharing your love of art with us common folk.

Thank you for your comment, I do appreciate it.
Like you, and I think like most people, a comment is much appreciated, it can tell you a lot about your drawing or painting.
Besides it's very stimulating to hear people like your work.
It's common to get more faves than comments however, I suppose it's
just easier to fave than to comment.

iphone emotes don't work very well here, DA has it's own emoticons, and there are so many
