I was wondering how these artists in some youtube videos are making such a realistic art works with mere oil pastel. I saw some magic out there and so I decided to try some with these soft pastels. Only problem I faced was my collection of pastels was containing of 12 shades. Still I wanted to tey something. So I took a reference from here, and try to draw it.
This was the result.
For making this one I took a paper of 300gsm thickness and used masking tapes to fix it on a plane. Then I drew the basic sketch with a pencil.
Then I started applying the pastel colours. Theses were so contrasty colours and I managed to fill all over the paper with a gradient style.
But the variation from one color to another was not soft. So I used a ear bud and started smudging the colours on the areas of varying colours.
Finally I got what I wanted and removed the tapes without damaging the paper.
It was a 2 hours work and I hope it worth the effort.
Next time I am hoping that I could make a better one.
Thanks for visiting my post
It really means to me a lot.

It's a nice job, you combine perfectly the dark colors with the illuminated ones, giving this desired effect to the viewer's eye. Looking forward to seeing your best effort, best regards!
