Oil Pastel

I do wonder how people can go straight into drawing with oil pastel without making a sketch first, maybe its a me thing but I like to sketch what I want to make first since using a pencil is more controllable than oil pastel.

Oil pastels blend really easily, almost too easily in that you cant really draw over other colors or else they will blend into each other

I wondered how i would start this without pencil and then decided at least outline first. as time went on i didn’t have a plan and went with the flow for what my desired theme of torn apart should be. I wonder if there an eraser for this cause there are a few places id like to redo.

I notice that smudging it makes it look amazing and my theme looks ready good and- somewhat comprehendible.

While using oil pastels, I wondered how else I could have presented the prompt ‘Torn Apart’ and what other colors I could have used, since my chosen colors and idea were simple.

During my process of using the oil pastels, I noticed how easy it is for other colors to mess up your work. The colors in my work turned out to be a bit rough and dark than how I envisioned it because of my carelessness with the oil pastels.

The Idea is he's being torn apart from his head, body, and it's getting to part of his face.

I was definitely wondering what i should do, in the beginning I had thought of using a persons arm or something being torn apart, but then I started tapping around the black oil pastel piece and then I had the idea of making the entire person be torn and fading away .   

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.PSXiNIm8
I noticed that I wasn't very clean with the overall structure of the persons face, it does look very off and not super realistic which bothers me a bit but I can't change it now as oil pastel doesn't really erase. The mouth is also a little too big.

I noticed with the oil pastels that it is a trust the process type of thing. I’ve never really done it before and I definitely have to get used to it but my thought process. The story behind this is how a person’s soul or mind could be torn apart and conflicted by a person’s thoughts, emotions and different personalities. People tend to have more of a darker, sadder side to them and try to suppress it by developing a lighter, much brighter side to over power it but it ends up clashing with the other personality eventually tearing them apart.

I wondered how to use the pastels at all and what i could do with them. so i started to just try things out.

I noticed that you can smear with them really easily so i started to use my hands. I used my hands to do a smearing motion in two different directions to make it look like two hands were ripping the object apart that I made in the middle. I used some red to add some kind of intensity to it.
