[xtrishiebabyx]

wow thats amazing. i'm starting to use pastels for school, so i'm hoping to be good as you someday.

[HanieandTayeShow]

isnt that the dude from titanic the angry husband?

[stellaphonestick]

i love your work, do you always use your fingers to blend the colors?

[SmecksDotCom]

I do! And I end up a horrible mess because of it... but truly, it's the only way I'm comfortable with because it allows me to have ultimate control over getting a nice smooth blend... that and, well you know, it's just SO handy (ba dum dum).

I usually end up with some very colorful knees by the time I'm done...

hey could u do one of me its a goory picture but i know you can still do it

[Axtitios]

/cry

i wanna be as skilled with pastels as you are

[kendalchen]

That's good. Even the jawline is really good. How many pastels are you using???

[SmecksDotCom]

I mainly use brown, blue, red, white, black and yellow on all my drawings. The blues I'll use ultramarine and phthalo (cyanish). The pastel set i bought didn't have any 'flesh' tones so I had to improvise with those :)

[djarnexus]

are these chalk(y) pastels? if so you are a master... I have been trying and trying to use this medium, but the colors just end up muddy... despite me sucking at this media... I want to get a set of pastel pencils, because i dont like the little rectangular bricks of pastel... btw, you need to make a vid showing useful techniques n approaches to the media... and info on how to get such a good color feeling =\

[SmecksDotCom]

These are the chalky pastels. Brand definitely matters - i learned that the hard way. I use Rembrand soft pastel sticks (soft but chalky mind you, NOT the oil sticks). I also use the pastel pencils - mainly for fine detail, but also early to sketch in some of the basic shapes and tones. I actually did do a quick tutorial on creating flesh tones with pastels... look for the tutorial playlist in my profile and it should be there :)

[djarnexus]

yeah i see what you mean... the ones at my school are horrible... i used a different one and it was considerably better... but i still stink w/ em but i want to try the pencils.

[lindieinred]

really great!

[theartistla]

Really nice work! That is a great video demo!

[menro1]

[DMcLean1989]

that drawing is wonderful, i wish i was as artistic as yourself! i've always wanted to get myself painted by those artists in the street but never have, i'll be checking back soon to see if anymore have been done!

[hopefloats617]

wow word can't explain your talent. is your ability to draw like this natruel or did it take you some time.

[cheekychen]

nice work!

[wobinidan]

Wow man... Nice artwork... But you can also tell me if you are going to use my music! I am honoured tho :)

[punkfayrie]

Timmy looks awesome! You did a great job!

[garycuk]

Another amazing creation! I could give you some music to use if you did me? So it would be a drawing of the singer people are listening to...up to you x

[flutterbies77]

[flutterbies77]

You are so talented! I wish I had half your talent! I'm in awe,really, great work

[timotheophany]

Wow, this is really awesome. I'll post a video comment in the next couple days, since I'm out of town and away from my own PC. Right off the bat I'll say that I am very flattered and I think you did a phenomenal job. Excellent work as always!

[SmecksDotCom]

[lost2007aus]

i got :-) my dad says the more u try teh better u get ;-)

thanxx :-)

yep havent herd of ziggy but every1 has snoopy. we have it here in australia sometimes

[SmecksDotCom]

You have a very wise dad indeed. I look at it this way. There will always be people you think draw better, there will always be people you think you draw better than... the object is to have fun. If you've accomplished that, then nuff said. :)

[lost2007aus]

thanxx :-) it is fun. i did a vid on school supplies for a friend on youtube and showed all my colouring stuff and some pictures i did. the pictures had teh lines on them first but but, really just colouring them but i try and draw

[lost2007aus]

these r kewl. im in grade 6 and cant even do stick drawings yet lol

when did u start drawing?

[SmecksDotCom]

I *think* my first real interest in drawing was probably in 5th or 6th grade... I remember being rather fond of drawing ziggy and snoopy (oh gosh, let me guess... you're too young to know who ziggy is?) I was really not very good but enjoyed it enough to stick with it (there's a hidden message in that sentence for you) :)

[Lunatik21]

I found the message lol

And would Ziggy be from Popeye from any chance?

As for me I was interested in drawing from very early but I havent drawn in so long...

[Perroquet51]

Was it only one week ago that you wrote the following?

"Now mind you, I have NEVER worked with pastels before except for one horrendously failed attempt about a month ago..." If so, and you are creating paintings like this already...lordy, imagine how good you are going to be a week from now!

[SmecksDotCom]

I'm starting to learn a few tricks along the way but I'm impatient and still tend to focus on the flaws. Every single one I have a point where I hate it and want to quit. I think most artists do that (don't they?) But I am incredibly happy that you are seeing progress!

Hey, whens that next gossip video coming out?

[Perroquet51]

The next one comes out soon, hopefully tomorrow. I sent all the clips to a friend and she's putting it together.

[Lunatik21]

Oh my god!! This is like your second or third pastel drawing and its totally awesome!! I can believe the awesomeness of it : D Very Good Job

[SmecksDotCom]

Thanks Lunatik i much appreciate it. :-)

[SmecksDotCom]

Hey thanks Mikma! I take that as a huge compliment seeing as though you are usually a man of few words :) And as always, I'm glad you were here!

[mpoertner]

This is just so amazing. I love watching these come together. Thanks for sharing!

[SmecksDotCom]

I am very glad that you enjoy watching the videos. Its always more fun to be able to share the things we enjoy doing, so I appreciate knowing it's not a wasted effort :) Thanks for the comment!
