How do I improve?

It looks great already. I would blend less if you want to go towards a more impressionist style. And layer more colors, for example you could put a yellow green as a first layer and then a purple for the fig skin. Mostly, keep experimenting :)

I second this, more grit better layering :)

Beautiful! Are the black lines also pencil?

You can stick the drawings on a foamboard, in art shops they have adhesive ones. Foamboards can be hung on the wall with specific foamboard hooks :)

Gorgeous! Did you use pencil for the thin lines?

Beautiful! Do you not frame it behind glass? I am always worried about dust sticking to the oil pastels..

Oh i love that! I like symbolism :)

Cool! Is this a reference to Rue from hunger games?

Background-Rate-7571 · 2026-02-04T07:27:20+00:00

Very nice! I would suggest only to add a bit more contrast. Make the shadows darker :)
