This was actually an extremely helpful lesson! I used your techniques as a complete beginner to oil pastel (and art in general, honestly) and created a drawing of an eagle ray that I am extremely proud of. Gave it to my boyfriend for his birthday-he loved it! :D

How beautiful! Always wondered how to use oil pastels and I think this demonstration explained it very well. Saving this to my favorites so I can give it a try!

+Lexlosesit Thanks for the kind words and the feedback!

This looks cool. I am so going to try this later. I do have a question though. Is there some purpose behind using yellow construction paper, as opposed to some other color?

[@ampersandcastle1091]

Random X Creations very late, but I think it’s because she wanted yellow to show through when she scratched away the oil pastel with her mechanical pencil. If you wanted another colour to show through, you could use a different coloured paper :)

[@Artchick1972]

what brand paper are you using. This is not workout well for me on the paper I am using . Thanks!

The music you used made me want to watch One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest again for some reason haha. Beautiful job by the way, very elegant yet defined :)

I just drew my own fish from your tutorial. It turned out great! I've always struggled with how to use oil pastels. Thank you!! I wish I could post a pic in my comment to show you how it turned out.

[@TheOtherStephanie111]

Love! How do you seal the work so it doesn't smudge? I have some old oil pastel work that still feels "tacky" for lack of a better word.

[@berniceseigel6482]

Great! Thanks
