Nope. It's a thing I sort of picked up. Actually, that CF-18 was the first pastel picture I'd ever done. I just figured that the same blending theory applied to oil pastel as with pencil, only with pastel, it's in colour. I figured that to make the most out of the picture, I'd blend as many colours as I could to take advantage of the texture that oil colour gives.

Hey, thanks guys I didn't think that they were bad, but I didn't think that they were anything amazing either. You went and made me feel pretty darn good about my work!

Kyle

Wow! That's cool! personally I don't like pastels that much. They get all over my hands and drive me crazy! I like mechanical pencils and watercolor. I mainly draw guess what? Bunnies!

I always liked to draw with dull regular pencils. I just can't stand a sharp one.

I like drawing with a regular soft lead pencil

But when I draw comic strips I like using a mechanical pencil because I don't do shadows or shade things in with comics. And it makes a nice fine even line.

I generally draw with Sharpies now. I'm not exactly an artist, but I have a lot of fun. Before I discovered the fast greatness of sharpie, all of my drawing was done in colored pencil.

I like mechanicle(sp?) pencils the most. I use 0.5 and 0.7.
I kinda like markers! I love my inking pens. They are 0.2,0.5 and 00.5.

I'd have to say that my favourite thing ever to draw with would be my set of chalk pastels. they work the best on construction paper.

I'd also have to say my set of art pencils, they're ranged all the way from 9H (hardest, like drawing with a chunk of steel) down to 8B (softest, like drawing with a piece of charcoal)

A regular pencil is best, along with a pencil sharpener by your side, although if you really want a good drawing, having various H's and B's can make for strong contrast. Don't forget the tortillon though! OH, and graphite dust can be great for really subtle stuff
Amen!!! I actually, LOVE wall mart's sketching kits, Charcole and graphite, I intermix them depending on what I'm doing. I've been trying to paint more, but havn't in awhile...I didn't like the pastels though, maybe mine were just an off brand, but it was no diffrent then crayons no matter how hard I tried to blend them. But, Kyle, your pictures rock man:kgrin: I love drawing!!!!!:kgrin:

I have found the use of water colors good....and not the kind of water colors you may have used at age five. The wooden box says P.C. Lambertye.
