Using Pastel Pencils

Video Transcript

"Hi, welcome everybody my name is Lars Erik Robinson, I'm with Lars Arts "All Around Art-tainment", I'm a freelance illustrator. Today we're going to talk about how to use pastel pencils. This is a piece I did with different medias, so far, I've done some oil pastels, we done oil sticks. This is a great way to get detail, if I was going to get a could back here, for example, you could take the side of this oil pastel pencil and just blend it in then you could take a sponge, for example, and just go right on the side of that and blend it out but it still keeps its detail. The pastel pencils compared to the pastel sticks, like this, you'll be able to create a little bit more of a detail look than you can with pastel leads like this. So to overview, these pencils are wonderful for being able to create outlines, which you can even blend out a little bit more, and their great for smaller detail areas that you normally can't do, like for example, a bigger pencil will be like that. That's the advantages of pastel pencils and I hope that helps you guys understand more of the use of this tool."
