So what can you use to stop smudging?

[klauduks]

@HeyItsTyler2000 well oil pastels dont smudge as mush as soft pastels um so I just try not to lean on the drawing or just put a paper on top of the part im not drawing at taht moment so I could put my hand down without smudging ... but I there is like a special glove for sale which people use ... erm smudging doesnt have to be bad ... its just with oil pastel you have to know how to use it to your advantage ... experiment :D

this was a very good lesson, i also love painting with oil pastels. I never really had lessons of it, so i have a question: how do you dry your paintings?because I want to get them framed and i don't want my painting to get smudged...Do they stay "sticky" forever?

[klauduks]

@dideletpink erm you can buy a fixative ... like a spray thingy ... thought apparently hair spray works for some people but I guess you need to be carefull incase the paper is really thin.. yeah :)

Hey,

How do you keep the pastel dust from messing up the rest of your drawing and also.. I'm using 70 lb paper.. i'm assuming this isnt the best type of paper as it doesnt blend the way I want it to.. any suggestions?

Thanks! :)

[klauduks]

@16omg16 pastel dust ? are you talking about soft pastel becouse I dont think you really get dust of oil pastels , they just make your fingers a bit oily ... I think you might be using dry, soft pastel which is a bit different.... and as for the paper I dont know that much apart from the fact that it depends on the paper on how you should layer the colours...

I guess, I still need to practice more.

U made that look too ez..... Nice work

[Natejohio]

That was fucking brilliant. You've inspired me to get back into pastel.

[shan90drama]

@klauduks Oh dear! hair spray doesn't work all the time. It even ruined one of my paintings. I'd say stick with a professional spray fixative even with charcoal or graphite.

Nice work!

@itzCaseyV

I scrap off the oil pastel and the colors stayed and the oil was gone so therefore the smudge problem was eliminated (I use a short and plstic ruler.:) )

[itzCaseyV]

I drew a beautiful picture using oil paints but then I dropped it and alas it was gone with smudges and bits of the oil paint stuck to the floor :(
