OMG, "So let's face it. Who really cares?" That gave me courage! Thanks for being real.

I love how blunt this guy is. “Don’t colour it in like a crayon. That’s gonna look terrible.” 10/10
But in all serious this was very helpful. I’ve been an artist for a long time but have never used oil pastels until recently. This video really gave some helpful tips about blending and colouring

Very well done video. I have been a professional artist for 40 years and never used oil pastels. I just bought some today and here we are. You probably saved me hours of frustration.

"... and they wonder why it looks so immature."
I like this guy already. 😂

I remember my oldest brother use to draw and color like this, it is what inspires me to get back into drawing. Another something that I have learned to come back too because it give me peace and I enjoy that time because I have no thoughts just drawing or coloring.

PS. I agree about the black... Other dark colors are better, when I first started with oil pastels I used them like I was coloring in a coloring book too. But it is REALLY better to dab them on so you can mix other colors in with it. Same goes for regular pastels. You now have a new subscriber Thanks again

I thought the black made it even more beautiful gave it more definition, in my opinion

I still use my oil pastel like a crayon. I know if the pastel was made with good oil in it, and has not dried out, then I can smudge with finger, tissue or towel. Also, with Q-tip or brush dip in oil, I use linseed oil, which also blends and give a more painting effect. But, I like the advice of the rule of 3s, thank you.

Thanks for this! My teacher doesn't nessisarly teach but always uses very complex mediums, especially since we all are in middle school, even though hardly anyone knows how to use them. I learned more from this video from my teacher. Thank you again glad a found this channel, Im defently going to use these tips for all next year.

Very fun tutorial--I was given a set of cheap oil pastels to play with, but I've hardly used them. I now have a fun experimental project to start on thanks to your advice on mixing colors and trying abstract shapes. :)

Thank you for sharing that-the rule of 3 and the application technique! It's goin' in my bookmarks.

Have seen groupings of 3 analogous colors in larger oil pastel boxes and in other media as well. Always thought it was pleasing to the eye. Good to see it in practice with a smaller set and with entertaining narration. Thanks!
