Hello, how are you? I've been missing drawing using my oil pastel, so I decided to draw again, and I already miss the [still life weekly challenge](https://www.instagram.com/stillherestilllife/), so I decided to draw all of their challenges whenever I can, so as I remember, I only draw some of their challenges. -----

Materials I Used:

Oil Pastels
220 gsm Velum Paper

Scratch Tool
Reference

Time To Draw!

On a blank piece of paper, I use gray pastel to draw the sketch of the still life. -----

Then I start outlining in detail the still life using their respective colors, and then I add a map to show where the shadows are. -----

This time, I start layering inside the outline, but I do it lightly so that I can layer it again when needed. -----

Next, I added a layer of darker shades. -----

I decided to color the background so that I can adjust the shadows highlight to the still life. -----

Then I draw the shadow of the still life. -----

It is on its way to looking like a still life. ----

Using this scratch tool, I added texture and highlights simultaneously. -----

I follow what my heart says. I like the texture, it gives a unique twist to the drawing. ---- ![28.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/leannwithdoublen/Eoc7RjFVw4ewVpbu5bEVmCPzBbjc3ZPqhQiogP3qmhKs3De3DfAD7jGk5DCrjR9QwLv.JPG) Good to be back on oil pastels :D ----
