Thank you.🥰💕

Hi 😊💕 I usually put a tracing paper between every page to prevent the colors from smudging.

@@kiccoaartzz thank you 🌻🌷🌹

Hi 💖 Thank you 💕 You can see my sketchbook in my other videos.

Hi Thank you.💖✨ Well I usually get all my references from pinterest, here is the link of the reference for this painting, I hope it helps.💕 pin.it/5Irg0eI72

@@kiccoaartzz that’s so kind of you to be sharing your knowledge and uplifting everyone with your gentle voice and content 💕 thank you !

Hi 🥰 It's a brand called Pill notebook.💖

This just made me so happy.🥺 Thank you so much.💖💖💖

I used Faber Castell color pencils.💖

Thank you, portraits are difficult but you make it seem so easy.

Aww, thank you.🥰💓💓

Hi💖😊 You are right, the paper has a very big impact when it comes to painting with oil pastels. First of all in my opinion painting on a paper with a lot of texture or using a very thick paper is not that great for oil pastels, also your paper should not be too smooth or glossy because you won't be able to layer colors and the colors will lift off from the paper. I usually put a tracing paper between every page of my sketchbook to prevent the colors from mixing. Also I talked about all these problems about the paper in my most recent video, you can check it out for more information.💖

@@kiccoaartzz wow, thank you for the reply, I will definitely check out that video. Really appreciatate it, wish you all the best ^-^

Thank you so much🥰💖 No I usually don't, but I put a tracing paper between every page to prevent the colors from mixing in my sketchbook.

Thank you.💖 I'm glad it was helpful.🥰💖

Hi💖 Thank you for your compliments.😊💝 Well I think it is said that it's better to use a limited palette for color pencils because you might get confused in the beginning and can't control the colors that well, but I guess if you have the skills then it's okay to use any colors, it comepeletly depends on you. Whatever works for you then it's the right path for you. Oil pastels can be opaque or not based on brands and colors, so sometimes you can basicly do whatever you want and experience everything to see which method you like the most.💕

Hi😊💖 Actually I don't really care much about painting on a specific type of paper or sketchbook, but I prefer the paper not to be too textured and not too white either. So I think as long as the quality of papers are good, any sketchbook should be fine.💓

Really?😉

Hi💗 thank youu😊 It's actually a brand called Pill Notebook

@@kiccoaartzzممنون 😍

Hi🤗 Think of it as a new experience and just do it without overthinking about the result. Good luck! 🥰💖

Hi💖 You should try blending with other colors, I usually use white or skin skin tone colors to blend.

This is great! I'm glad you got motivated.💖 You should absolutely try painting with them, they are really good.🥰💖

Hi💕 Thank you.💖😊 Actually I bought this from a local store, and I searched for it to share the link in yt but unfortunately I couldnt find it anywhere. If I find anything close to this sketchbook and the paper's color, I'll definitely share with you.💗

@@kiccoaartzz thank you! 😃

Hi😊💓 Yes, it does! It has a picture of Frida on the cover but I didn't make it.😄 You seem to like oil pastels a lot, since you have many of them.The Mungyo ones are really soft and painting with them feels pretty nice. I also like the full set especially the Wooden packaging it looks really beautiful.

Thank you! 😊💕

I'm glad you liked it. 💕

Thank you💓 Actually they're not oil pastel pencils, they're Faber Castell color pencils, I just use them to create texture or make the edges softer.😊💖

Thank you😊💖 Ofcourse I can! I usually don't stick too much to references and they are more like inspiration for me, but I'll try to add their links in the description and share them with you.💕

@@kiccoaartzz Welcome ✨️ and namaste 🙏 from Bharat 🇮🇳

Aww thank you so much, you're such a kind and lovely person.😊💕

@@kiccoaartzz artist friend 🙂

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it.🥰💕💕

Thank you. 🤗💕

You should absolutely give them a try if you want to buy other oil pastels. They are easy to work with and their quality is so good. You'll probably like them.💖

@@kiccoaartzz Thank you. You strengthens my will 😄. Mungyo are very affordable for me, that's another advantage ! For the moment I am in a serie with extra soft pastels and pastel pencils. I am not well equipped to make videos on my work but I hope some day you could have a glance to it. You got a large advance on me with oil pastels so for them it's challenging !

Hi💖 Ofcourse! Well, for the hair it's better to avoid painting every detail, instead you can apply a base color and then create highlights and shadows based on your reference. Also using a limited range of colors makes it way more natural. It's actually hard to explain this in a comment but I'll definitly make a video about your question, I hope it helps.💖😊

@@kiccoaartzz Thank you! :)

Hi! I'm so happy that I could help you.😊💖 I understand exactly what you mean, I was just like that thinking maybe oil pastels are not the best for me, but being consistent and using different techniques is the right way if you're working with any pastels. The pastels you're working with, or any other material, shouldn't stop you from making art. You just have to figure out how to be creative and achieve your goals with whatever you have. I hope you do well with oil pastels, and thank you for your compliments.🤗💕💕

​@@kiccoaartzzhello again! Thank you for the kind words! Just wanted to drop in again to say that I'm finishing my first Pentel oil pastel drawing, and the result is better than I thought it could be for a first! Keeping in mind my general inexperience with oil pastels (let alone these harder oil pastels like Pentel) and "skill issues", I kept in mind your advice from this video and it helped me navigate this new medium with more ease and less insecurity as a newbie! Once again, thank you for inspiring me to start this in the first place, but also for helping me start learning to use Pentel 💛 i'm a certified follower of this channel now ahaha~

You're doing great! Continuing to create art is an excellent way to overcome fears and gain more experience. Pentel oil pastels offer many good options, and I will definitely mention them later. I'm honored that you find my videos inspiring and I appreciate your support, It means a lot to me.😊💓✨
