Drawing Timotheophany

Here's my long overdue drawing of timotheophany. Another victim to my relentless pursuit to mastering pastels. I think through this drawing I have learned my love of drawing manly stubble. Wow, that sounds even more weird when said out loud, but there you have it.

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...

[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 :)

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 :)
