I finished touching up my Cas. I did a little more work on his mouth and chin, darkened some areas of his jacket and hair and added yellow reflected light. And moved my signature, so that it can be framed. There are things that could still be improved, but you have to stop somewhere!
materials: a blue pastel pencil by Derwent, a white Posca, a pencil from Faber castell. the sketchbook page was prepped with watercolor.

Goofing around in my sketchbook BECAUSE I CAAAAAN! NO RUUUUULES! 🤸♀️ 😆🙃🌈🎉
Actually, as cutesy and loose as this is, this is actually a very serious study I was doing using various forms of pastel (oil pastel, chalk pastel, pan pastel, and pastel pencil) in combination with paint to prepare for a mixed media painting I’m currently working on. 🥰 I cut down a large sheet of Strathmore Pastel paper (so I wouldn’t have to make a super large piece) and practiced on it, then taped it into my Moleskine watercolor sketchbook over a page I’d previously let my nephew paint on when he was 3 (he totally destroyed my travel watercolor paints at the time lol). Then I went over it with oil pastels to make it “fit” more in my sketchbook.
I’m having so much fun playing with all of my art supplies! Wheeee! I hope this gives you permission to play today. It’s almost Friyay! 🤍
A super-quick Dean, because I'm supposed to be making cannelloni. Pastel pencil on sugar paper. With a bit of charcoal. Lots of rough, energetic scrubbing and no finesse at all. It worked out okay, though! I like him!
49/100 1. my attention is strongly fixated on mountains lately, I can’t help it, maybe I could drive it away from them, maybe not, idk and don’t really want to think about it rn; 2. bright red and blue give some sci-fi vibes to this piece, don’t they? 3. I wish my sketchbook had thicker paper (*μ_μ)
materials: Koh-I-Noor red drawing ink, a blue oil pastel by Sennelier and a dark violet pastel pencil by Derwent. the sketchbook page was prepped with mixed red + blue drawing ink.

got the urge to make a wayne mcloughlin style portrait of frostpaw; i used pastel pencils and they turned out to be perfect for emulating that style! unfortunately the bg looks p different from the original- neither my phone or scanner could get the exact shade down, but the portrait itself looks accurate.
