Oil Pastel Bunnies

It’s more accurate to call these last few sketches oil pastel and colored pencil as I use the Derwent Drawing Pencils with every one, especially the dark colors. The paper is a gray Nova Stillman and Birn sketchbook.

Only better than discovering a new medium is rediscovering it after a few years pass and liking it more than the first time around.

I dusted off my oil pastels and sketched the cow portrait. I was so pleased with how it turned out I quickly decided to do a big project. Did I bite off more than I can chew? Yes, I did.

Although it isn’t the worst thing I’ve completed, it’s certainly not the best. Next time, I’ll stick to a smaller size and choose one focal point instead of having everything fight for attention.
It seems every so often, I need to draw a squirrel.
