I Tried using OIL PASTELS for the FIRST TIME | 'Adult' Crayons..? 

When you use oil pastels you can use tissues to blend the oil pastels it stops you from wasting oil pastels age its easier

"Say hello!" Rabbit: *In batman voice* "Hello people.."

I love how one of the rabbits was named Sasuke

I tend to stay away from pastels because of their greasy texture, but I found that using a tissue or sponge can be helpful to create a smooth blend.

Ways to blend oil pastels: 1. Always better to put base layers down first because once that pastel dust touches anything, it is stained for good. 2. Dont press too hard That is when you start to get the oily waxy build up which causes the next colour to peel off they layer underneath rather than putting anything on. If you have used oil paints, it is pretty much the same problem. In oil paints we tend to wipe the excess oil. Not something we can do here though. Which is why we use paper with more tooth so it can hold more layers of pigment. The lesser the tooth, the sooner that peeling business starts. 2. Once you have a decent amount of layers, you can use tissue, Q-tip/cotton bud for blending them. 3. you can also use a solvent like baby oil or gamsol or something applied with a brush. That helps with the peely problem. 4. Also all colours wont feel the same. Some colours like white, yellow, some reds and browns, brownish greens are utterly smooth and good for blending. The blues tend to be on the scratchier side. That is because of the colour pigment and how it is stabilised. you get used to working with them. Also, if some colours are being too tough, use one of the softer colours to blend (like white in lighter areas or maybe a dark green if the shade calls for it) 5. oil pastels dont have to have a rugged look. They can actually produce pretty realistic, almost oil painting like art. Depends on the style you choose. But yeah, they are definitely more organic looking than something like alcohol markers - if that makes sense. Hope you try them again with all of these things in mind.

Quick tip I learned in art school for blending with oil pastels: get a bunch of extra white pastels and use them to lay a base layer on the paper. The easiest way I've found is to take off the label from the pastel and use the side of the pastel to fill as much surface area as possible. You can tape off the edges of the paper to get a clean edge. With the white underlayer, the other pastels should melt right into it and be super easy to blend.

That’s legit the smoothest blend I’ve ever seen with oil pastels. Great job!

I would like to see chalk pastels after this, I love using them. For oil pastels, I recommend having an exacto knife to shave off stray colors that stick to your white or other pastels. For some smooth blending you could also use a little, and I mean a little, alcohol or paint thinner to blend the pastels. Just make sure you use the right paper. Nice work!

Have you considered using a stump or your fingers to blend the colors, it’s probably worth a try. Great artwork and videos btw.

Yaay! The bunnies are back! hopefully you wont be too offended if i clicked as soon as i got the notification was to see if the bunnies are back xD id still watch the video i just clicked faster than usual cuz of the bunnies since they are soo cute

The best way to blend both oil pastels as well as charcoal is a paper "pencil" that is just very tightly rolled paper. It has a good tip and if you know what they look like it you can just make your own. It give a great smooth texture with pastels

Would really like to see you do this again after gaining some knowledge on how to use them.

The bunnies are cute. You did great with the oil pastels, spiderman looks totally real 👍🏽🔥🔥

Gimme more of your sweet rabbits. Love them. And your artwork is fantastic as usual.

We used oil pastels in elementary school art class. I remember feeling like such a "real artist" coloring with them.

YES I’m so happy you finally got to this! It hilarious because I used these for the first time in grade school (crayons too) so your reactions just remind me of 3rd grade art class😂😂

I like the oil pastels a lot. The color looks so rich. Great job on Spidey.

Glorious work. I love the end results and your enthusiasm and energetic reactions

Blending stumps work really good with pastels too.

Really enjoy the relaxed style of these recent videos🙂. I would love to see you make a really cool piece of artwork using these pastels in a future video!

I was given these pastels in art therapy and I found that they worked best for me when I carefully streaked the color across the relevant area (really light, as if I was hinting at shading) and then smeared the color with my fingertips. That gave me a somewhat even color on which I could build up my drawing. I tried using a q-tip for more control and it works passably well for my purposes.

Can I just compliment you on being a good bunny parent? Keeping them enclosed while outside with a large enough area, making sure they have somewhere to hide in said enclosure, getting down to their lever and speaking in gentle tones. Excellent bunny parenting.

There is not about the supplies, it's about the artist. And You My friend, you're a really good ones

I like his manly squeal as that vicious bunny jumped on the box! Reminds me of Monty Python. RUN AWAY!

Your videos are so entertaining thanks to your limitless talent but also your personality which brings a lot, fortunately that I took over the drawing it allowed me to fall on your channel

Hey there, newer subby.... Ive seen people use a blending stump to blend out the colors... or even their fingers. Dont be afraid to get a little dirty!

There is so much craziness in the world right now. Thanks for something happy and beautiful. Please keep going.

You’re my inspiration, thanks for videos. Would like to watch a real time inking video. 🙏🏿

Love seeing you trying something way out of your comfort zone. Your reaction to them is priceless.

I say yes to the oil pastels! I commend you for going through with it. I would love to see more of your artwork with the oil pastels.

so can we just take a moment to appreciate how cute his rabbits are lol.

Bunnies are so cute and awesome video. Have a fab weekend Love the colours of spiderman💗

Oil pastel confetti. They are so bright. Love it.

First of all, you naming your rabbit Sasuke is great. Secondly, I'd Iove to see u do another piece with oil pastels now that you've got a groove to using them. Lastly, you're cool, stay cool... and stay safe!!

I like both but the oil pastels are most definitely great for blending from what I see. They’re both convenient for whatever style you’re intending to go for. Nice video!

"Don't lick my butt!" - best intro to an art video EVER!

Aww cute rabbits! Sasuke the rabbit is in ninja mode hehe! Hope that you'll make a video about watching oil pastel tutorials and have some oil pastel drawing retrospective attempt after seeing them. ::

I prefer...no, I love the oil pastel side! You made another piece of art ADCArtAttack...even if all that mess on the sheet makes me crazy! Ah ah ah ah! The blending of the colours, how vibrant and defined they are and above all...the amusement they gave you that you made me feel: all these parts are great together! I hope you can work with them soon, I wish you and your lovely family (wife and...killer bunnies) to stay safe and to have a very nice day.

What I wanna see is u redrawing ur fans art

Hahaha sasuke :D funny intro. What a funny rabbit xD

Oil pastels over Crayons definitely! I might try them also, I’ve always been a color pencil and Markers guy but you’re encouraging me to try other things out.

Love your rabbits. They're beautiful!

I have Pental oil pastels which I really like. Depending on what I'm doing I sometimes use them wet, dipping the end into a small amount of water and using them like a stick of paint.

There’s no competition. The vibrancy of the oils alone is enough to win... but that blending! 😮 I do wish they had a finer point like the crayons, though.

You can use a soft pencil for the fine detail like the webbing. I love oil pastels.

I am happy with the oil pastels colouring more than the crayola wax crayons! 😍 Loved it 💯

I'm quite late, and I am not the best with oil pastels but when I tried them out I saw some videos suggesting to use a black coloured pencil for doing line work. I think this will definitely help with drawing the lines for the webs. I really love your art style and your videos all super helpful, keep up the great work!

Honestly i have a feeling you and your channel will blow up as much as Jazza. Keep this up man. I love your videos

That’s dope! I’m always learning something from ya videos man, even if I’m just watching you draw in general! You art style of how you put it to paper is like descriptive af in a sense , it’s a breath of fresh air

LOL, I'm loving your videos. I've done a lot of work with charcoal and it also leaves residue like crayon and pastel you want to pick a soft bristle brush for brushing them off the page and avoid smearing the picture. Great vids man keep up the good work

I wanted him to smudge them so bad! Take a q-tip or tissue paper and you can blend the colors together better.

Since it's pretty obvious you're a big dragon ball fan, I think a great idea would be to take in subscriber submissions of dragon ball character concepts and redraw them but with your great art skills 😂 who knows maybe there will be a character that catches wind and one day we may see!

Love your vids!!!! But I had no idea you had buns!!!!! My wife and u had a bonded couple (husbun and wife) they both passed a couple months ago within 2 days of each other. Was seriously one of the saddest times of my life. Your videos helped me to cope. Now that u know you have buns that just makes it that much better!! Keep making great content and you'll always have a supporter in me!!!!!!

We often use oil pastels at school and, I really have to tell you, you actually need to use your fingers to blend the colors together. The heat and friction motion is what will "melt" the medium and blend the colors, plus the natural oil that's already on your skin helps alot too. Just a quick warning though, if you think that technic was messy, wait until you get them all over your hands, boy it's nasty! ...but you will get much better results :). Other than that, I'm newly subscribed to your channel and I want to say, I really love your work, it's amazing and you're really talented :D!!

I love the vibrance!

I love oil pastels so much. I need to buy some more after seeing this.

As others have already said, using cotton swabs (q-tips) to blend as well as trying the swabs with a bit of baby oil really blends well. I recommend trying them on a slightly more textured paper like colored construction paper or the Canson brand artist papers (they come in many colors). I like using a toned or colored paper for my pastels and I always buy extra white pastels for blending. To keep them neater try blocking colors in instead of blending on top of each other. Once you've blocked them in you can blend with cotton swabs (with or w/o baby oil).

Now, one thing about oil pastels. Lay down your colour/s, then use the pad of a finger to rub it in. This is how you truly blend them and ensure the white dots where colour didn't saturate are filled in. Next, you should try out watersoluable oil pastels, they are amazing. Recently watched an artist draw a My Neighbour Totoro scene with them, and it was phenomenal.

Am I the only who know is seriously enjoying the intros with the bunbuns? Shows there's more to the artist than just... well... one room, lol. ~

Oil pastels are some of favorite to work with. You will find it to be smooth blending if you get your fingers dirty. A small line will smudge a long way and blend like no other. Love the work!

Hi ADC Have you tried the Derwent Inktense pencils there amazing when you add water to them, Worth checking out if you haven't Great work keep it up

I really like your "I tried ... for the first time" videos :) i really enjoy watching you draw / paint. And i also like your asmr videos. I'm watching these every evening before sleep. Thanks for all these videos! :)

There's a lot more you can do with oil pastels. You can blend using other oil pastels (as you did here). Blend using folded tissue paper, blend using blending stumps, blend using oil such as baby oil and a brush (gives more smooth look) you can have an underpainting using acrylics or water colours then layer your pastels on top. There's so much more you can do :)

I have only used them as a background. Laying down a couple colors, and with my finger, rubbing, moving the pigment around to get a nice blend. I don't use as much of the stick as you might think, as I don't "color" with them. I move color around. You might try this technique for a more freestyle look.

All the pastel marks look like party confetti 🤣🎉

Totally killing it. Awesome video buddy.

Rabbits are some of the best pets 🥺💜

I really like the oil pastels not only do they leave a vibrant rich color also can blend beautifully to add so much depth and features! While the crayons are a bit washed out but I think are really good for less depth detail & simplified drawing technique.

I didn't know you have rabbits! That just makes me like your channel even more.

It's wild how good this looks on a first go. Pastels are like poker in that learning the game is easy but mastering it takes a lifetime unless you're you. Bravo.

A nice fluffy soft paint brush is what I use to get the little crumbs swept away without leaving as big of streaks.

I recently just started oil pastels too and I watched a couple of videos and they say using a fluffy watercolor or paint brush to wipe away the access and it really helps and you can scrape to add a little texture but it looks amazing you are so talented 😍I love watching your videos was watching the video while writing this 😂

BUNNIES!!!

you can use a blending stick (same one you use for charcoal) or a tissue or a cotton swab to do the blending and smooth out the picture texture as a whole. But also helps with color layering with no pilling.

I'm a simple man. I see ADCArtattack, I click.

You're using oil pastels for the first time! Wow

the result here is so much better ! love it

Omg watched this intro so many times for the bun buns! Love the video :) greetings from holland :)

i am not a artist and i have never use oil pastels but i have seen many ppl using napkins folded to smooth and blend and looks amazing smooth . you did amazing job as well i am really glad that youtube put your video as recommend >>^.^>^.^

I suggest you to keep something thick below the paper tho provide more volume to the paper. That would help you to blend and give a smoother redult. And you should try using your fingers for blending some areas. Don't use more colors use less colour and use your fingers to blend in the edges, then it won't be so messy as you see oil pastel is based on blending

This was so fun. The bits that come off are annoying, I think they do that more when they’re cheaper, though these are fairly good. Sometimes they’re scratchy due to a coating that should come off when they’re used more, idk. I love when you found the right angle to blend but then said it would make your hand hurt, the way you said it was funny, but ouch. I like using oil pastels occasionally, I find it a faff to blend and hard to do details, but they’re so vibrant and immediate.

Impressive! That color difference from crayon to oil pastel is massive! Awesome as always man. Take care!

Awesome work ADC! Glad you tried it out! If u want to try and sharpen your pastels, try cutting it with a knife!

haha i just bought some oil crayons and googled oil crayons and your video popped up. it's my first time with oil crayons too, after recently purchasing childrens crayons to paint a little...just like you i instinctively did the swatch tests, blend test AND then *tried to blend with the finger*! the blend you got in the neck is just...ahhh so lovely! new subbie! 🙂 thanks for a great video 🙂 i definitely prefer the oil side more!

Okay, first of all-great video! So, here is an idea I figured out as I want to keep my oilpastell art safe and laminate it. I did thick (!) layer of oilpastell on aquarell paper. It looked like anHundertwasser. Then I put it in a plastiksheet-thingy and laminated it. It was ruined, but cool at the same time! So I did some experiments with my iron and more art. Have fun trying! Yes, I had fun experimenting and enjoyed it so much! Greetings!

You can blend the colors in with your fingers or blending stumps. And the application of layers is the same as when painting with oils.

I use those silicon shapers to blend and pull my oil pastels around, works a treat ^^. Wonder what you'd think of the neocolour 2s. They're a water soluble wax crayon =]

blow the shavings off the page. tissue is a way my father would blend and there are different sizes of pastels. My father used them all the time. There is also a eraser type artists tool you can use to blend

Nice one there! Love the result of the pastels and the messiness that comes with them! Cheers!

Oil pastels aren't really designed for detailed precise work, detail is more expressionistic. Oil pastels are a wonderful medium to work with, after a while you will see that when trying to apply colour the colour underneath comes off so you need to let it dry which takes about 2 days depending on the brand, then you can put more colour over it. Thanks for the fun video. Cheers!

I'm always amazed when you do such an amazing job when using new medium for the first time! Love it!

Those Pastels are amazing! They are way much better than crayons. Only 30€ for this result (I don't forget your excellent drawing skills too). I can't wait to see how you're going to use them in new artwork (layer over brush markers, DBZ character with skin tone, etc.)

Hey, I loved your painting! I'm an artist too, yesterday I did an oil pastel painting and I used some techniques that I learned on tiktok. You did very good! Say hello tô Brazil!

I personally think the shavings and extra scribbles outside of the drawing add character and i think it looks great for a background effect.

For anyone wondering about the crayon pieces- you can also get rid of them by picking the paper up and bonking it on the table a couple times :)

I would buy that just like that. That is art to me in the purest form

I am only a 13 year old but I have had lots of experience with pastels. But I have seen that using a lighter shade of a overall area as a base is very affective like when you do a base color on your marker art also for smoother looks try blending with your thumb, piece of tissue, or a blending tool (usually used for charcoal art) . If you use you thumb make sure to have a disinfectant wipe next to u to prevent mixing colors.

You can smudge blend too ...like with graphite or charcoal.... Use your finger to move the medium around

Dude I love when you try new materials on this channel its like a new adventure everytime I click on your videos.

I always liked to do a mixed medium with oil pastels. Like doing main art with colored pencils for the control and the pastels for the backgrounds. They can make amazing effects.
