Description
I have made a pastel tutorial, because some people haveasked 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
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.
You can find the photo here [link]

Hmmm, I don't think it will work out if you're in haste

I agree. And even if I am not in haste, I probably won't take the time for something like this. That's why it is so great to see what wonderful things others, such as you, are making!

Thank you for this! With more practice, maybe I'll be able to make one so detailed.

I'm just curious what method you use to transfer your drawing to your velour paper? Loved the tutorial, the steps are all clear and there are no real jumps in your process. Thanks for sharing your technique!

Sarahharas07 In reply to DeaconStrucktor [2012-12-12 16:00:20 +0000 UTC]
After a lot of sketching on ordinary paper I transfer my drawing to the velours by smearing in the backside of the paper with the flat side of a soft pastel. Then lay it down softly on the velours and trace the lines I want with a mechanical pencil, a thin one, and don't use to much pressure otherwise the velours will get indented.
Hope this makes things clear

It does; thank you! It sounds much handier and more economical than using a projector, or carbon paper.

Okidoki, glad you got my meaning
and yes it works a lot more economical.

that's useful, you are really a best artist! And I use this tutorial with my eagle on paper, but still can't, I don't know how to shading these feathers at panel 3 :"(

Sarahharas07 In reply to emily-the-wolf [2012-12-12 16:04:21 +0000 UTC]
Thank you very much, just start with thin lines in the darkest colour and then with a lighter one and so on. Does that make sense?

Wonderful work, grats on the DD
