Chalk pastel tutorial: Portrait 

That’s super sweet of you to say, thanks 🙏🏽

Glad it was helpful! :)

You are so welcome! Very glad you find them useful :)

Thanks! Glad you are finding them useful :) there’s a few more tutorials on pastels in my channel, check them out.

Would a vacuum probably smear the painting or suck up too much color? How would you do it? Just curious, not criticizing

Thank you! Cheers!

I normally blend with a stick of pastel rather than fingers as it makes it really dirty. Try using a lighter colour to blend.

It's really cheap sugar paper. I think the colors look vibrant because the warm colors are balanced with cold colors.

Your artworks are beautiful❤️ thank you

I try not to. It makes it super messy and the colours get super dirty 🙈

Sugar paper :)

Merci! Bravo! 🤩🤩🤩😊🌹🍀🎁

A dis to my own ability to resemble her beauty in a short drawing without practising! Definitely not to her. I'm a huge fan, but that often happens...It's often hard to get resemblance of someone you admire a lot. It doesn't matter because my aim was to demonstrate techniques for chalk pastels in portrait on black skin and I only used her image as a photo reference, it's not quite the same as doing a portrait ;)

@@hackneyfinearts8483 Ah. Got you! :)

This is why I've avoided anything, character drawing/portrait drawings, with any ethnicity other than those of "white" tones. The fear of the result looking like an insult. Especially because I'm a beginner. But I absolutely love dark skin tones. Love. I always have. I wish we'd move past this way of thinking: looking for negative. Thank you, @HackeyFineArts, for this video and your wonderful response. I am unable to draw anything well... Light skin tones. But with your video and humbleness I have courage to try darker skin tones. Which are so incredibly beautiful. ❤💖💕

@@katewoollard5538 you obviously have the luxury to "move past this way of thinking", I do not. You may label it "negative" till the cows come home, my question was apropriately and respectfully asked and answered. You take care. 🤘🏿

Luxury... We all have luxuries.... Every one of us... Every single one of us that lives in a developed country... It's a matter of choosing what you see... I wasn't disrespectful about your comment... On the contrary, you made my point and highlighted the truth of my hesitancy to draw any character or person of any other ethnicity than lighter skin tones... I wish you well too ❤💖💕

Sorry to disappoint you, we are new to this. Just making videos to keep my students and the general public entertained during lockdown.

lo lamento, no se puede satisfacer a todos siempre...Espero encuentres alguno x ahi que te fascine!
