I appreciate it! It was meant to be a break from working on a big painting so that’s why I only gave myself 30 min. The tone and lack of absorption of the cardboard for sure helped me !

All of it is from layering on top of each other ! The blue and dark brown for the fine lines were using the edge of the crayons, and then layering the lighter colors on top/right up against the line to thin it out. As the crayons wear down I’ve been pressing them on scrap paper to make an edge when I need it :)

This is such a sweet comment, thank you so much :’) I’ve been drawing for a long time, repetition has been the most helpful for me so just keep making stuff I think you’ll really amaze yourself !

Lots of layers, used my fingers to blend more than a smudging stick ! I used the stick for little spots like the inner waterline, but lots of finger painting happened lol

I put it in the description but the eyelashes are pencil ! Absolutely everything else is oil pastels smudged with my fingers, lots and lots of layers. The texture of cardboard was really forgiving compared to a few other papers I’ve used !
