You may be allergic to the dried pigments used to make the pastels. Cobalt is the one that springs to mind as it's used to make some blue tints. If you have the option you should try to get in with an allergist to get tested for metals and minerals allergies. It itches like crazy but super helpful for preventing accidental reactions.

[@emilycasner4159]

@@darksoul5643 I don't think so, since it's cobalt is actually quite expensive. If you have insurance you should try to get in with an allergist and see if they can help you find what causes that.

[@emilycasner4159]

Just remember that even though there's cobalt in B12, B12 is literally necessary to existence. Large quantities at once are to be avoided, but don't try to cut it out completely because that'll send you to the hospital.

It's definitely possible that you're allergic to soft pastels. I had a roommate in college who was really allergic to them. We found that out when I needed to work on a piece overnight one time in our room and she could not stop sneezing and coughing from them even tho I was across the room. I felt so bad and I made sure any other pastels works were done outside the room from that point on.

[@caitie-can4572]

When using pastels you want to work in layers ( e.g after you blend the first use the stick without blending for details and harsher edges ) This helps a lot with vibrancy and not making it look ‘muddy’ as you said in the video Hope this helps😊

[@drawingwiffwaffles]

thank you!!!!! thats very helpful!

@@drawingwiffwaffles You might enjoy pan pastels as well. Many people use pan pastels for the background and layer either pastel pencils or coloured pencils on top for the drawing part.

That is such an amazing drawing, I love it. Also, when I still did wall-climbing, everybody used chalk to make our hands more grippy. That stuff was a notorious skin irritant, though. It dries out your skin, plus the grains damage the skin. We had special extra greasy hand creme to combat the effects. So you might not be allergic, it could just be the regular chalk effects. Getting chalk on very dry skin (for example after washing them with cold water) makes its damages even worse. You could make it less severe by using a very greasy creme beforehand, and then afterwards again (after thoroughly cleaning and drying your hands).

The hairspray helps it not to be messy anymore when u pick up the finished piece.
