Of ALL mediums, oil pastels intimidate me the most.... Someone gave me some that feel like cheap crayons. :P I'm going to Jerry's art-o-rama. ASAP.

@KilLJoYx9 you can but with oil pastels you should do it with paper or q-tip because if you do it with your fingers it looks messy

[KilLJoYx9]

are you supposed to rub pastels? im a begginer and i want to experiment with these.
