I had a really hard time making this drawing because I had to use oil pastels, which I have never used before, only chalk pastels. It took me awhile to get the shading right on his face because the picture didn't seem to have a really noticable light spot and dark spot except around his eyes, which were dark. Thankfully, when I was using oil pastels I could go back over and add more light or dark colors and then blend it to make it look even and show more defined facial features. If I was to draw it with pencil then Iwould have to be doing a lot of eracing but with the oil pastels you could just kind of go with whatever mark you make on the paper and it could actually help the piece. Overall I did enjoy working with the oil pastels even though it took a lot of patience.
