I'm doing my first drawing tomorrow on pastelmat I've sketched out and transfer image

[@hannah_finearts]

Interesting method. I usually do it the other way around because I blend with a kind of OMS. As I tried to do it without I also used the softer pencils first and went for the details with the harder pencil. I think I'll give your method a try - love your work.

[@BonnySnowdonAcademy]

Ah yes I don’t ever use oms 🥰

[@faustinalin]

Could you tell me the name of the white pencil again please, also the name of the other hard pencils than faber castell you mentioned ? Thanks !

[@marystephens9150]

I think she said a Pablo (car an d’Ache Pablo white pencil) or museum macro white (macro rafiine or Rafine colored pencils). I had to listen 3 times. 😂

@@marystephens9150 thanks so much, really want to get a good white pencil, tried several and didn’t work well.
