I used to do pastel work at High School 20 years ago and I am attempting to get back into it all these years later as I am getting bored with computer graphics. You are one of the best pastel artists I have seen and really inspiring. WOW!! I hope to do many myself with your inspiration. Thank you for sharing.
Wonderful experience to watch your video. Love the way you put blue in the eye then used paler shade to bring the eye to life. Sheer poetry observing your creations.
Absolutely inspiring! You are my most favorite artist. I aim to be as good in my own right, but it is always inspiring to know I can be as good as you someday. Practice, practice, practice!
Hi, love your video. I don't usually comment, but this is wow! I wanna be like you. I'm just 16 and the only medium I'm good at is Charcoal. I would also like to make something with color but I don't know if I can, really. I was thinking on going for digital art, because of a friend. But when I see traditional arts it makes me feel so...real :) it has life, every stroke of color is wonderful. And thank you for the video love it :D
Hello Jean, if you prefer the charcoal it´s great because this medium is very rich and you could use it in many different ways... If you work a lot with charcoal, you´ll start to master the other techniques too... Best, Graciela
Graciela Bombalova hi there, your work is outstanding i loved it! i have the same problem as that Jean have : good at charcoal and also ok with everything not relating to colors like pencils or ballpoint pens , but my problem with pastel and all colored mediums is i that have very little experience about how to mix many colors to get the exact one I want, or the exact tone! Should i do like you said and stick to the charcoal until it helps my to overcome this problem or keep trying with colors?! Thank you!
Şahane👏🇹🇷👏Bende pastel yapıyorum fakat portre ye cesaretim yok sizi izlerken etkilememek mümkün değil. Gerçekten büyük yeteneksiniz.kuru kaleme benziyor pastel mi yoksa karışık boyalar mı kullanıyor sunuz ?
Marvelous... Really helpful video... Can you please suggest which fixative is good for protecting the soft pastel drawings, pls help.. is camel is good? It's price is reasonable.. pls suggest
I love watching your video's, I am curious what is the pencils that you use that almost look like they could be mechanical? I have been a water color portrait painter but am now crossing into pastels and in the stores near me I do not see anything like you are using . Is there a website that you purchase from?
Kristian Don Arquiza Hello Kriatian, I use Canbson paper...And for details you can use some pastel pencils like Conte, Pitt paste CabhOtello, etc.. Bogra
+Dani Pintus Hello Dani, It depends on what. Skin, hair, dress, etc. But I really like Schminke pastel. I also use Unisons, Rembrandts, Seneliers, etc. Best regards, Bogra
Great work !!!! I have watched most of your videos they are all great! I see you don't use a fixative I'm new to pastel how do you stop the colors from mixing when layering?
Thanks for this learning video... Could you please suggest whether febercasel pit pastel softpastel pencil can be used for the fine/ small work in portrait? Pls suggest.. thanks as always..
Hi! I love your drawing so much. I wonder the tools you used. Are them all soft pastels? Did you use any oil color pencil or something else? I just started learning soft pastel. But the soft pastel always create a lot of loose power on the paper, and color cannot stay. It ends up to have a lot of very light color. How did you make color so bright? Thanks a lot!
Hello Mia, All of my pastels are soft pastels like Schminke, Unison, Rembrandt.. The soft pastel is the most pure pigment color that you can work with...but I can understand why you loose power on the paper.. Maybe the brands you use are not good enough..Or maybe you are using right brands in the wrong paper.. Regards, Bogra.
Ronai Carvalho Hello Ronal..You could start with a small set (of 8) from Unison...They have special sets for portrait, so it is a good start and then you could try different brands, or buy one on one...Regards, Bogra
+Emilio Yero Emilio, Thank you so much for your nice comments!! Actually I am working on something like that but it is not ready yet..Once I´ll get it I´ll post it in this channel. Regards, Bogra
