☕️ messing around with oil & soft pastels in my sketchbook || 🖍✨🫐🌾 (ft. ARRTX)

[@seaof_stars]

Haven't watched your videos for a while, nice to know you're still as creative as ever!

[@thelastcoffeebean]

Aww thank u! 🥹🧡

[@seaof_stars]

@@thelastcoffeebean no problem! Gotta support the fellow hijabis

[@jesstunn3407]

I really love that you treat your sketchbook almost like a junk journal or smashbook, with all the labels and scrapbooky bits 🤩

[@ChantelleArts]

that was brave of you to try and make a whole portrait with soft pastels, couldn't be me haha 😂 appreciate your honesty with the review too ❤

[@missylulu]

I really respect that you were honest.You're parents should be proud of that! If I could see you struggling with the "hard" oil pastels everyone else was too. I can't color/use with pastel sticks but I do use pastel pencils for details in my watercolor art. I have a few Panpastel and they have better control than the sticks and NOT as chalk blowing in the air and all over the place.

[@Maddie.d326]

I love watching you create and choose your color palettes. They're always so beautiful!

[@Misae_sparkles]

I really liked watching your video, thank you for your hard work ⭐️

🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 I love your videos, You’re the first person that I’d seen doing a scrapbook/sketchbook kinda thing. I love the idea of your sketchbook also being a memory book and time capsule. Definitely going to try it out some time in my own sketchbook. 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 🧡

[@thelastcoffeebean]

Oh woww thank youuu!! I hope you have fun sketching/scrapbooking 🙌🧡

[@ShibIllustrates]

I love your videos, your art really inspires me. I stopped making art for a while and your videos have helped me pick up art again. Thank u for being inspiring!!!! ❤❤❤

[@thelastcoffeebean]

Omg I’m so glad to heaaar!! :D🧡 Tysm!!

[@SnakewithaBanjo]

I love watching your videos while I draw!

[@Randombitch77]

This just made my dayy❤❤

[@zcelik3]

This was sooo fun to watch. I loved your comments and analysis and just the entire process 💥🔥

[@thelastcoffeebean]

Awww thank u so much it means a lot to me!! 🥺🧡 I was a bit self conscious posting this one ngl 💀

[@staticwool]

These turned out so good!! It was so fun and interesting to watch✨ The blue and purple portrait is definitely my fave, love love love the pink showing through like you said. Also the soft pastels 🤮 always hated them, they always feel gross too and are honestly just such a mess. The eye you made with them was definitely so good though 👌❤

[@thelastcoffeebean]

Thank u sooo much!! 🧡🥹 OMG I’m so glad u relate lol the soft pastels KILLED MEEEE 💀

[@martycrouz5974]

You did what I did with my soft pastel drawing first : I ruined it with fixative ! We have to use the fixative very far away from the painting and of course it doesn't protect at 100% 😭😭 thats why I hate to use them ! Impossible to protect it (or you have to put it under a glass and frame it 💀). But I really love oil pastels. Your tests are very interesting. Thank you for sharing 🙏❤️

[@thelastcoffeebean]

Omg thanks for the tip 😂 next time if I ever use soft pastels again, I’ll try sealing it from far away 🙌

[@thelastcoffeebean]

Also Tysm for watching! 🧡✨

[@matildegraciopereira6469]

[@thelastcoffeebean]

AAAH IM SO GLAD!! 🥹🧡🧡🧡 LOL theyre sooo painful 😭 soft pastels and I will never be friends

[@nicolikesnarwhals]

@@thelastcoffeebean oh same here hahahah 😂💖 I remember trying them a few years back and they just get eVerywhere - I got mad respect for those pastel artists who make those super detailed portraits using them, how they make such beautiful pieces without getting the dust everywhere is wizardry-

[@thelastcoffeebean]

@@nicolikesnarwhals FOR REEEAAAL!!! I can’t believe how they do it omg 😳

[@shouto5695]

Woah I love ur videos asw😭

[@SunArts918]

I love your videos! I just started using the Paul Rubens oil pastel, and they are a dream to use !!

[@saalihaimran7384]

Badum tshhh :) KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORKK!!!

[@edgy_circles]

6:27 I took a class with oil pastels, and I think the issue here is either 1. Yellow is the weakest pigment according to colour theory, 2. You may be layering them too much, because after a certain point of surface richness, you'll eventually be just scraping off pigment to put on another one, 3. If you're using the yellow on top of another colour, again, weakest pigment, its not going to stick, or really any combination of these. Edit: The entire "sealing" process for the chalk pastels was painful to watch.

[@solarrbear]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@blackbat908]

You have to work really big with oil and soft pastels if you want detail haha Oil pastels are my absolute favourite! Great video c:

[@Sara-pk8wv]

soft pastels can be used with gouache it's very useful for glow effect and fog.. etc.

[@thelastcoffeebean]

Omg that’s so interesting! I’ve seen it used with water!

[@mzebony]

That’s weird that you don’t like the Arrtx oil pastels because Arrtx and Paul Rubens are sister companies, so I would assume it’s the same pastels. I have both and found them ok. Mungyo and Sennelier are my favourites. I am going to try out the Artagain paper. Keep creating 💙💜💛

[@spark_art1]

I love the sketchbook pages! I think you were a little bit to hard on yourself though, You haven’t used the medium a lot, so you are not gonna be the best at it at least in your eyes. I think u have an amazing art there’s always time to get better and better but we are not perfect and that’s ok. I recommend to take breaks if you’re struggling that might help.

[@thelastcoffeebean]

Aww thank u for your encouraging comment, I do have a habit of being too picky and hard on my art 💀🧡

[@spark_art1]

@@thelastcoffeebean We are all to hard on are Art, it’s human nature. We just got to learn to embrace were we are at. Also I would love to see a video about store design and starting your own business, because I starting on myself and I would love to learn from u. I’m glad u found the comment helpful!🙃

[@shouto5695]

Assalamu alaikum Nourr:D Prefect timing cos i was using oil pastels for the first time in ages yesterday Its like my least fave medium and im tryna get better at em

[@thelastcoffeebean]

Wa alaikum assalam!! I’m so glad omg it’s such a fun medium honestly 😳💯

Wooooooooooooooo🎉

splendid 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@zahirwilliams1663]

that spot artwork is literally amazing! did you ever record the process of it?

[@thelastcoffeebean]

Tysm!! Unfortunately I didn’t loll 😭🧡

[@akartcampaign]

Pastels are literally my nightmares! Yet you made them look so easy here! Any suggestions for those of us who has zero experience (at least positive experience!) ? And as always, another amazing video! Love the entry view too! Keep it up!

[@thelastcoffeebean]

Thank youuu! I really love oil pastels they feel like thick acrylic paints in crayon form! I advise using monochromatic colour schemes to start out 💯 it makes things so much less muddy and complicated and you can just have fun focusing on values and shapes

[@akartcampaign]

@@thelastcoffeebean my pleasure! and again thanks for the great suggestions@

[@Safoo_101]

We miss you so much 😭😭😭😭😭🇩🇿

[@suzannw9098]

Maybe a different type of paper for the soft pastels. It looks like the paper you’re using isn’t conducive to soft pastels because of the lack of ability to layer on the paper. Just a thought.
