Sassis In reply to lil-twilight-wolf [2007-06-22 12:49:12 +0000 UTC]

I can understand why. The paper you use means so much for a drawing/painting. And I just love soft pastels. You should try the pastel pencils to.

Great tutorial and drawing, the shading techniqu here is really helpful.
Just one tiny question, (this is kindof random sorry) What is the difference between oil pastels and regular ones?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Sassis In reply to tastyinhibitions [2007-02-14 19:25:44 +0000 UTC]

Well, oil pastels are "greesy" and have some binding solution in them to make them that greesy. whereas soft pastels are almost pure pigment with only a small amount of binders in them. They are the "purest" in pigments of all art material, as they are basecally pure pigment. I hope that explains it.
