Another Dean, in hard pastels and willow charcoal and a charcoal pencil. He's distracted me quite nicely for a couple of hours, but now I'm thinking about Wednesday and the start of another chemo cycle. But anyway, it's probably the hottest day of the year so far, and guess what I'm cooking? Christmas dinner! Every year we do a Boxing Day turkey run and buy as many as we can fit in our freezer ridiculously cheaply. This is the last of this year's. It's a bit hot in my kitchen. But it's worth it.

Look at my hard pastels. Pretty, aren’t they?

Slowly but surely chugging my way through this figure drawing class.

I'm not quite halfway through my class yet, but I'm burnt out as all heck.

Tip: hardness is how hard or soft an art supply is. (duh) The reason this is specified is because soft materials put down more pigment while harder ones put down less, appearing lighter on the page. This allows for more control in shading which is why artist grade pencils and pastels often offer a range of hardness.

{note- the softer it is the more trouble it will have maintaining a point.}

#art #plague doctor #posie #pastel #kawaii #cute #captioned #artists on tumblr #character design #oc #original character #oops! no name yet #halloween #spooky #i made them for merch reasons but i will draw them like i draw my other characters #i worked so hard i got Brainsick from Stress and i had to stop and then also i was busy in Not art ways for once #GIRL I NEED MORE HOURS IN THE DAY #oh uhh character facts. i love skulls and flowers and plague doctors and crows/ravens so i jammed them together #they are an anthro white raven disguised as a plague doctor. bird disguised as bird. nice. you can see their tail though #they use they them. the nonbinary urge to wear a full face mask at all times #that little bird is their Familiar of sorts and it can turn into things. usually a staff or a walking cane i think #the little bird also doesnt have a name. neither of them have names #not from lack of trying i just haven't had time to look yet #edit - THEIR NAME IS POSIE #YKNOW LIKE THE NURSERY RHYME

I like this lady who's standing on my little easel. She's far from perfect, but I think she shows how lines really are overrated. I started with the shadows and then used some white and then did a few lines where the hard edges were. I really like the shape of the pose and some of the bits where light and shade meet.

I used these, by the way, on their sides. The squared edges for the lines and the flat sides for the shadows and lights:

They're broken off bits of Conté hard pastel.

I'm in a life drawing class again this semester, working exclusively with nupastels. I haven't worked in pastels for about a decade, and it's definitely taking some time to get used to it again. I'm cursed and don't have an easel, so that makes things uber extra ultra difficult.
