Old chalk and oil pastel drawings

I once took an “Art of Illustration” course at our local library (actually, I did it twice), and we got to experiment with all kinds of art materials. I’ve since decided chalk pastels and oil pastels aren’t for me—really, anything that absolutely must be sealed in order to not be ruined isn’t for me in terms of drawing, lol. I wanted to share what I did make back then, though.

This one is probably my favourite. Oil pastels.

Such a lovely collection of drawings!

I agree with you, the first one is my favorite too.

(I realize it’s been a long time for me to have used soft pastels or oil pastels. On the list!)

soft pastels are way too messy for me. Your blends are nice and soothing.
