First Time Using Pastels/ Realistic Humming Bird Drawing

Hey everyone, I know its been a while since my last upload. I’ve just been really busy with school and work, so i haven't had as much time to work on my art. I decided to try something new and do a coloured piece. I always think its a good idea to try something new, so that’s what i did. It’s definitely not my most detailed work, infant i found it quite had to get any fine details because of how soft the pastels are. I think I’ll do some pastel work again in the future, but I’m definitely going back to Charcoal and graphite for my next few piece. I hope you all liked the drawing. Have a great 2021 :)

Hey everyone, just to beat the comments. I know it’s not my best work but I wanted to try something new and for more experience. I learned a lot from this piece, and so my future pastel ones will be improved. I hope you all liked it anyways. Happy 2021!!! :)

Hello

[@cfiddlerart3783]

hi

[@BlenderTimer]

Your art is amazing! I feel honored that you drew my photo! :)

[@danieldraws]

Your art never seizes to amaze me. I am trying to get my realism to be like yours! 👍

[@cfiddlerart3783]

Thanks so much!!

[@shamsart]

This is amazing.

[@SAILANYColoringkids]

So much detail on this page. The combination of pencils really makes it more beautiful...😍😍😘🥰

[@VFreddyArt]

I had a horrible experience using pastels the first time. I hope that wasn't the case for you. It looks incredible btw.

[@cfiddlerart3783]

Thank you!! Yeah it was definitely different than what I'm used to. I did a couple small sketches to get a feeling of the pencils, which help but I still didn't love it. I had to watch a tone of youtube videos to figure out how to layer properly hahaha. It's so different compared to Graphite and charcoal, but I guess practice makes perfect. I am going to take a break from pastels for a while though haha

[@mikmalama9590]

Why are you not uploading new video ?

[@nidhiagarwal559]

Bro can with graphite also

[@cocoalmosawy9792]

I love your work 😍👏🏻👏🏻

[@regmik]

You should try hyperrealism on some imaginary scenes. The possibilities are endless - macabre, tragedy, comedy, fear...

[@cfiddlerart3783]

I hope to get there in the future, but I don't think I'm at that skill level yet :)

[@kiksforge]

Just like photography, I've always favored monochrome as it focuses more on the subject matter but for a medium you're not comfortable with, jasus you knocked it out of the park, well done.

[@cfiddlerart3783]

Thanks so much!!! :)

[@peter-josephthompson2683]

I have some questions and some things I would like to ask u artist to artist and I was wondering if u have Instagram or something to talk

[@peter-josephthompson2683]

I messaged u on Instagram

[@chrislewis2792]

It's beautiful. The eye feels like it is watching you. An absolutely gorgeous color palette. I think you did amazing for your first use of pastels. I would like to see you do one in the blues and greens to see how you capture the iridescence.

[@cfiddlerart3783]

Thanks so much!!! I'll definitely keep that in mind for the future :)

[@jadenshah]

You have an amazing ability to blend shades in the background

[@cfiddlerart3783]

Thank you :)

[@veerumrania8672]

First and btw I LOVE your art

[@cfiddlerart3783]

Thank you :)

[@Kyomiibrown]

Great work for the first time, looks, like you are a natural. Just one tip - one of the best papers by far for pastels is pastelmat. Very little dust and several layers can be applied.

[@cfiddlerart3783]

Thanks so much!! Yeah definitely! I would have gotten specific pastel paper, but my local art stores didn't have any of this size or larger, so I had to use a different type. I did some reading online and some said that watercolour paper works well too, so I gave it a try. But yes next time I will absolutly us pastel paper :))

[@Kyomiibrown]

@@cfiddlerart3783 Be sure to get Claire Fontaine Pastel Mat if you can. It is the best for pastels by far.

[@santiagovanegas3425]
