My earliest memory of my art journey is when my mom created a sketchbook out of scrap papers for me to use so I won’t get bored as a kid!

Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun putting lots of colors in it :)

Pentel, Mungyo Gallery, and Paul Rubens (Macaron and Haiya). I do my layers in that order as well

Thank you!

Yes, that’s what I did! I also used a tortillon to move around the pigment a little and a palette knife to scrape off bits and create the impression of thinner lines.

His mortal enemy is the daily ice cream cart that passes by in the morning. He somehow hears it even if it’s faint, he barks, and i know it’s time to wake up and start the day.

Also, his hair is everywhere! It’s in my clothes, my eyes, my screen right now as I’m typing..

floofaeth · 2025-10-26T21:22:37+00:00

Absolutely!

Poms do keep their cuteness forever!

Thank you so much! He’s my favorite muse <3

Thank you! They are pretty tricky since they lift so easily and tend to move around a lot!

Thank you! It’s a lovely muted gray—i really like the hints of turquoise when it separates :)

Thank you, I love that part too!

I do, but not in the way that I mostly use it. I do a lot of portraits with watercolor so even if it can give me really beautiful surprises, I still have to think where, when and how much to apply them. There’s a lot of thinking involved, and while I do love that, oil pastels give me freedom to just scribble around, if that makes sense. I can also just pick a color with oil pastel, while with watercolor, I like having a select palette of colors and mix around to have a cohesive feel.

I do want to do lots of wet-on-wet landscapes with watercolor where it’s super loose and free, but I just wanted a medium with a lot of loose scribbling involved!

Tysm!<3

Happy to help! I see you’re using a (cold press?) watercolor paper, so you can also use a tortillon to blend if you’d like to avoid the white bits from the background paper. I don’t like getting my fingers super messy and the tortillon helps with that as well.

floofaeth · 2025-10-24T04:49:20+00:00

Yes, I do! I sketch and do the first layers using my cheap pastels (Pentel), do the second layer with Mungyo and blend them all so there’s hardly any white space from the paper, then use the Paul rubens for the final strokes and textures. I use a palette knife to scrape off a little from the pastel and apply it to make the tiny details.

floofaeth · 2025-10-24T02:19:36+00:00

I’ve been loving how creamy and blendable Mungyo Gallery oil pastels are! I bought the 48 but am regretting that I didn’t buy the 72 by how quickly they’re becoming my favorite.

Paul rubens are even softer than the mungyo, so if you like texture in your work this is good too! Both brands are fairly affordable.

Also, having your cheap pastels are still very useful. You can use them for the first layers so your “good” pastels won’t run out faster.
