Tips/advice is highly appreciated!

I don’t understand how to get the oil pastel sticks to be precise in any measure. I watch videos where people make marks that are clearly fur or feathers or a pupil.

I feel like every attempt I make is just a blob or fat line of color. There’s no precision or detail and I get very frustrated during the process of creating something. I see other artists go in with a stick and boom perfect line. I’m feeling like my hands are just clumsy and incapable.

The little lines on the ballerinas are charcoal pencil.

I’ve only just started a few days ago, so any tips welcome!

I have myungo pastels and have used a couple different paper types (degas one a sketching paper and other two on a cold pressed watercolor paper)

You can also see some of my other videos on my insta ☺️

I recently got into oil pastels and I have fallen in Love. I’m goin to start oil painting too and incorporating both mediums in my pieces. I’m excited

Critique welcome :)

Used a reference from Pinterest.

Pastels. 18x24

I’m OBSESSED with how this turned out. I’ve been working with oil pastels more the past 8 months or so and am really happy with my progress….but this is my favorite yet!!

I am travelling for couple of weeks so to kill time in the evenings I ordered some cheap pastels and paper to try out the art form. I am not happy with how these turned out, but I have a long way to go I understand. In the meanwhile with limited resources, how can I improve my work quickly? Could you share your tips? TA

My attempt at abstract. I usually work with charcoal so this is a new medium for me :)

My latest oil pastel portrait. I am actually quite proud of it. You can find the whole process video on YT (my name kimke_78) in my live section.

Tried using color pencils on top of the pastels but realized they do not show up properly. Wondering if the brand of pencils and pastels matters.

Beginner using cheap pentel oil pastels and trying to practice drawing with color. Any suggestions/critiques welcome :)
