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!
Don’t use fingers unless you cover them with a piece of cloth, else you’ll end up depositing oils and impurities from the skin which could cause yellowing
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
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.
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
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.
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!
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!
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 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!
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
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).
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.
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.
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.
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 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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
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.
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! :)
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.
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. ::
You can smoothen out the colors and blending by using the edge of a paper towel. Not the most professional tool, but I think it’s worth a try to see if you like it.
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!
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.
A soft woman’s makeup brush works very well. U can get a inexpensive one for 2-5 dollars in the makeup dept if any Walmart or Target. Brushes away the crumbs without marking ur paper.
I have always loved oil pastels way more than crayon . They are way smoother and blend so much better than crayon! They are kind of like comparing a sharpie to a copic...worlds of difference!
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!!
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!
Thank you for all your videos as someone whose trying to figure out my style and preferences am happy to see someone I look up to be willing to try new thing
The girls and I loved this! I think the natural thing for you would be to underlayer with markers and do blending on foreground figures with these pastels. I've worked oil craypas before when I was trying to get a chirascurrio effect. It's more like painting but you get to sculpt the color layers... For the webbing, put down thick black lines, color over them and then scratch the oil off to reveal the black lines underneath. OK, anyway, a large TMNT (in the original style), full color... Pencils, ink, markers, and oil pastels....
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 =]
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.
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
Hii...fst of all lots of love to bunnies...and I'm using oil pastels from 1st STD ...I use Camlin brand for oil pastels....u can get smooth blend as well ...just use cloth to smooth it down ...n blow on the small pieces which r annoying....for smaller details I use colour pencils...it helps ...u did such a grt job for this art work...wow...as always love Ur art style...♥️♥️♥️for rabbits😍😍😍
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!!
Oil pastel side ftw, crayons require extreme elbow grease to get the right coverage of colour. Then you have to scrape away a layer of the colour to make it look amazing and get rid of white speckled spots.
If you go over it with a little bit of terpentine you can blend them really smoothly, and for the sharp lines you could use a graphite pencil. I would like to see what you can do with POSCA markers.
When you use oil pastels you can use tissues to blend the oil pastels it stops you from wasting oil pastels age its easier
Hamza K or your hand
Tips are good too
I use my fingers to blend crayons and colored pencils.. I don't use oil pastels that much because I'm afraid to get my drawing dirty
I've blended them using Q-tips.
Don't use your fingers to blend you might accidentally ruin your drawing
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.
lol i was just going to comment that well nvm
That’s why it’s called oil 🤣
I also was going to suggest the tissues plzt try them
I love how one of the rabbits was named Sasuke
Ha yea Just quality 👌🏼
Ikr
If ones named sasuke the other has to be named naruto right????????????????????????
Hope the other one doesn't scream Sasuke all the time like Naruto
Bet the other called Naruto 😏
That’s legit the smoothest blend I’ve ever seen with oil pastels. Great job!

"Say hello!"
Rabbit: *In batman voice* "Hello people.."
Peapull
Tell me you’ve seen “The Magicians”
Have you considered using a stump or your fingers to blend the colors, it’s probably worth a try. Great artwork and videos btw.
That's what I've done when I've worked with pastels. Also, Q-tips can work if you don't have stumps.
I like using my fingers, but you can also use a tiny bit of baby oil or gamsol to blend them.
Don’t use fingers unless you cover them with a piece of cloth, else you’ll end up depositing oils and impurities from the skin which could cause yellowing

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!
Glorious work. I love the end results and your enthusiasm and energetic reactions
What I wanna see is u redrawing ur fans art
We used oil pastels in elementary school art class. I remember feeling like such a "real artist" coloring with them.
I like the oil pastels a lot. The color looks so rich. Great job on Spidey.
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.
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!
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.
Blending stumps work really good with pastels too.
Love seeing you trying something way out of your comfort zone. Your reaction to them is priceless.
I like his manly squeal as that vicious bunny jumped on the box! Reminds me of Monty Python. RUN AWAY!
I literally jumped Haha you can see the moment my body shook
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!
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😂😂
Yes totaly
There is not about the supplies, it's about the artist. And You My friend, you're a really good ones
There is so much craziness in the world right now. Thanks for something happy and beautiful. Please keep going.
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!
You’re my inspiration, thanks for videos. Would like to watch a real time inking video. 🙏🏿
Would love to see this, too
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

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
Oil pastel confetti. They are so bright. Love it.
A nice fluffy soft paint brush is what I use to get the little crumbs swept away without leaving as big of streaks.
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.
"Don't lick my butt!" - best intro to an art video EVER!
You can smudge blend too ...like with graphite or charcoal.... Use your finger to move the medium around
Bunnies are so cute and awesome video. Have a fab weekend
Love the colours of spiderman💗
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.

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 am happy with the oil pastels colouring more than the crayola wax crayons! 😍 Loved it 💯
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.
Pastels are great for shading purpose... I use cotton to smooth them out and those cotton pieces are reusable while blending

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!
Hahaha sasuke :D funny intro. What a funny rabbit xD
so can we just take a moment to appreciate how cute his rabbits are lol.
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.

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
Nice one there! Love the result of the pastels and the messiness that comes with them! Cheers!
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 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! :)
I'm always amazed when you do such an amazing job when using new medium for the first time! Love it!
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.
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. ::
You can smoothen out the colors and blending by using the edge of a paper towel. Not the most professional tool, but I think it’s worth a try to see if you like it.
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!
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.
A soft woman’s makeup brush works very well. U can get a inexpensive one for 2-5 dollars in the makeup dept if any Walmart or Target. Brushes away the crumbs without marking ur paper.
I think you'd enjoy drawing venom with these , or carnage
I have always loved oil pastels way more than crayon . They are way smoother and blend so much better than crayon! They are kind of like comparing a sharpie to a copic...worlds of difference!
One of the things you can use with oil pastels is mineral spirits. Gives an interesting finish to blends . Should try it!
I love the vibrancy of the pastels, but crayolas have a special place in my heart....and are way more travel friendly. ❤️
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!!
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!
To get rid of all the bits coming off of it and blending nicer use a cloth or a paper towel it makes the finish way more smooth
Thank you for all your videos as someone whose trying to figure out my style and preferences am happy to see someone I look up to be willing to try new thing
There's masking fluid you can use to cover areas you don't want shavings on. It's usually used for watercolor, but might work for this, as well.
The girls and I loved this!
I think the natural thing for you would be to underlayer with markers and do blending on foreground figures with these pastels.
I've worked oil craypas before when I was trying to get a chirascurrio effect. It's more like painting but you get to sculpt the color layers... For the webbing, put down thick black lines, color over them and then scratch the oil off to reveal the black lines underneath.
OK, anyway, a large TMNT (in the original style), full color... Pencils, ink, markers, and oil pastels....
I'm a simple man. I see ADCArtattack, I click.
Impressive! That color difference from crayon to oil pastel is massive! Awesome as always man. Take care!
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 =]
I love the vibrance!

Excellent job. Really vibrant and punchy. I love it! Try using an oil pastel blending stick for super smooth blends.
You are the man. Great job! I would love to see you use Watercolors. Thank you
I would buy that just like that. That is art to me in the purest form
Awesome work ADC! Glad you tried it out! If u want to try and sharpen your pastels, try cutting it with a knife!
Yeah defo big piece with these please bro. You got the hang by the end, making that blend smooth like water 👍🏻
You can use H10 pencil for the thin back lining or shaded portions.
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.

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 wanted him to smudge them so bad! Take a q-tip or tissue paper and you can blend the colors together better.
These colors are amazing
They look so beautifull
You should try
Caran D'ache neocolor series 1 and 2 wax pastels.
Series 1 is water resistant.
Series 2 is water soluble.
I always recommend a cheap brush to brush away those particles, also you can layer bold graphite (6B or over) for details like the lines.
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 :)
the result here is so much better ! love it
Oil pastel side ftw, crayons require extreme elbow grease to get the right coverage of colour. Then you have to scrape away a layer of the colour to make it look amazing and get rid of white speckled spots.
If you go over it with a little bit of terpentine you can blend them really smoothly, and for the sharp lines you could use a graphite pencil.
I would like to see what you can do with POSCA markers.
