Hello, how are you? It has been weeks since I last posted some of my Oil Pastel art. I remembered the one I drew, but the inspiration was gone instantly after doing just the sketch, now that I have the energy to finish it.
I've been manifesting on buying a new Oil Pastel, the one brand I've been eyeing for years now, but I don't have the strength to buy it LOL.
I am going to draw one of my favorite flowers, which is Sunflower I dont know I just like how in any form, when it blooming or just drying it just love it so much. What flower do you like?
I've been loving drawing on big paper, so I am going to use both pages of my sketchbook. I drew the line art using the green oil pastel.
I start with their respective color and layer them by lightly drawing them.
I just continue layering it until the color finally comes together. I've been debating inside my head whether I am going to do green as the background color.
I start layering the lighter color with darker shades, and now the sunflower is starting to look like a sunflower, LOL.
Then I start adding the background color. I'm really committed to the green background, so no backing out.
Then the darker values weren't enough to my liking, so I added another layer of it.
To make the sunflower pop out more, I decided to add an accent darker shade of green, reflecting at the back of the sunflowers.
To add texture and to add a unique highlight, I use this clay tool to scratch out some of the oil pastel to reveal the light of it.
After doing the scratching, I added a little bit of an accent color to add a unique twist to it, and I'm telling you I did not regret any of it LOL.
Love how it turns out.
I thought the green background is not going to work, I guess I'm wrong. Adding the accent color made it more unique, but make sure that the accent color is complementary to that color so that it will blend well.
