come on people,she is admitting to drawing a masterpeices... she is simply showing some techniques.

Imagine if you were a beginner and didn't know much about what type of paper to use, and how best to bring our highlights in your work.

Plus, if you want the good pastel chalk it actually isn't cheap, my set cost me 28.00 for a set of 24.

I always use my fingers, paper towel, or a blending stump to blend...but I learned something new! I never thought to use Q tips! :D

[BeautifulMidnite]

Sorry. I meant to write, she is NOT admitting to drawing a masterpiece...

Besides, I am sure some of her finished work is amazing! :D

I heard soemoen comment the other day "what a waste of paint" But I never think that way. You need to keep painting, or drawing, and "wasting" your supplies until you get it right!

Anyway, thats my two cents. ^___^

@therealoracle there are blending tools that idk the name in english for, but honestly they can ruin the paper if you scrub them all over the drawing. for softer subtle stuff q-tips or clean dry fingers would work. for more specific stuff that doesnt need a lot of blending (like strong shadows on the eye or making a smoky eye effect) use those other things.. in spanish they're called "esfuminos", google it :>

@gavojohnson

Certainly, crappy pastels will be cheaper than good pastels.
