Experiment with Oil Pastels number 183728
These things are actual hell to manage holy fuck, but hey! the bells look nice at least
The cap wasn't supposed to be green btw I accidentally forgot the stars (somehow???) and had to add them later when i already had a base paint. I tried to make some places look a wee bit more vibrant with a pen and some gouache, but it didn't look okay
Welp, guess ill just keep on trying till i learn it

"Who killed poor Alice?"
An illustration of Alice's defiance and hatred and conviction all culminating in the event that unfurled before Jack's eyes on that fateful day, 100yrs in the past
I did this as an experimental technique,more under the cut!!
I used to do the multi layer oil pastel scraping technique a lot as a kid,but only for fun,I never considered using it for a serious illustration. But a few years ago,I saw Mochijun use it for a VnC illustration: the one with Louis surrounded by stakes. And since then, I've wanted to try it,but didn't have a subject I wanted,so I pushed it to the back of my mind. Well.... inspiration struck recently,and I wanted to draw Alice this way..the composition was suddenly clear as day in my mind. So I started,the sketch as usual,and inked and coloured Alice with watercolour,as usual. Nothing remarkable here,I almost always use a lightbox for inking, so far it's the same (ignore the extra eyes)
Tumblr media
Then...I busted out my old oil pastels. These are 12-14yrs old, haven't been touched at least 11 yrs or more,I have no idea.
Tumblr media
Now, instead of removing the sketch from the back,I left it,and with the help of the light box,added in colours according to the sketch
Tumblr media
The next step may or may not be done,but I didn't want to risk getting any ink into the paper,so I used a candle to rub the shit out of the oil pastel areas,and removed the sketch
Tumblr media
Once I was satisfied that nothing would get past the wax layer, I used ink mixed with acrylic matte medium to cover it up. The medium is important,else it won't stick to the wax at all
Tumblr media
Once dried, I rubbed graphite to the the back of the sketch and pressed it on with a ball stylus(a ballpoint pen or back of toothpick can be used) to press on the pattern onto the background
Tumblr media
After that, it's just a matter of scraping and scratching with a scalpel until I was satisfied
Tumblr media
Finally I sprayed it with some varnish,to protect the ink layer from peeling off(but scanned before that, because varnish scans weird),and adding some final highlights and lines here and there.
Tumblr media
So...am I happy? Yes! It's almost exactly as I envisioned! I do feel like I overcomplicated it,I could absolutely achieve this with just paint and ink,no scratching. But hey,I had fun,and I'm happy with how it turned out!!

December 21st, 2023 marks the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere - making it the shortest day of the year, and causing shadows to be cast at their longest due to the sun’s low position in the sky

Last night I sketched this eevee and attempted to color it with pastels.
At some point the colors looked bad and it wasn't at all going the way I wanted; I felt like I ruined it.

Instead of scrapping it tho, took a photo and then told myself to keep working on it just for the sake of the experience. And dang, am I glad I did. This is the result:

Sam, in oil pastels. Which are now all over my hands and phone - but I love smearing it with my fingers so much!
