Hello, how are you? This Oil Pastel Art I am going to show was supposed to be shown in heart month, which is February, which I really regret not posting.
That month, I've been so inspired to draw, especially with Oil Pastel, sometimes oil pastels, and I have a complicated relationship with each other, but I always find a way to be okay with each other again LOL, just like with my other art mediums.
Today I am going to show you the process of how I drew step by step this heart face.
I use my imagination as my reference for the face of the heart I am going to use. To start drawing, I use a lighter color of oil pastel to sketch the subject.
After I draw the sketch, I layer it with darker oil pastel for the final line art.
Mostly heart-shaped color in shades of orange to red, so I start by adding just a hatching layer.
I leave the layer on the face just like that for now. I am going to focus on the eye part this time. I like to add blue shades to the eyes first before adding darker and contrast color.
I just go with the flow on combining complementary colors with each other so that I will not look muddy in the end.
In this part, I layer it with more saturated color to make the subject more lively and pop out. To make the drawing more interesting, I drew a heart shape on the lips, which I did not regret at all.
The last process is too dull a color, so I added a more vibrant color and just a little bit of saturation to it. I really like how it's turning out, so I kept going.
I saw that one of my oil pastel brands I own has a gold color that has a shine to it, so what I did was I used it for the tears.
To add more texture and highlight at the same time, I use this clay tool to scratch the oil pastel off.
I really love the textures that oil pastel makes.
I hope you like it :D
