Challenging Myself By Doing 100 Head Drawing In Oil Pastels

Hello, how are you? Doing the 100 head challenge always triggers my eagerness to do it, but I never completed I've been attempting to do it for years now but I can commit to it so it stop me the moment i felt not doing it anymore but I saw alot of artist do it and it inspire me to do it too like why not, I am in a right mind now why not try it so I decide to do it today and I felt excited about it.

So drawing using Oil Pastel in a portrait intimidates me a lot. This time my drawing is not good, and sometimes it is good, and why not try it again, but this time a smaller portrait, and this is harder than I thought, but I did it, I drew three portraits in just a few hours LOL.

I did not focus on drawing the portrait realistic the important thing is I did it hahaha. I do not like to pressure myself, I just do it because I want to. So yeah, I hope you like it.

Materials I Used:

---

Draw Time!

1st Head:

---

Before, I used to be discouraged whenever I saw my drawing going to a phase where it did not look like a portrait, but that is just how it goes at first, LOL. Drew the line art with a color pencil and then started the rendering on the eye.

---

---

Then I added all the base colors of the portrait. I like to start by adding the dark color so that it will not be desaturated after layering it with a lighter color.

---

---

Then I decided blue is the background for this portrait, and then I drew the flower on the scarf.

---

---

Finish it off with highlights, more shadows, and contrast.

---

---

Here is the close-up look.

2nd Head:

---

For this second portrait, I am getting a little bit used to how small the portrait I need to draw using oil pastel LOL.

---

---

I outline the portrait in order not to lose the line art, and it will not be hard for me to draw it, LOL.

---

---

Then I added darker shades to make it look dimensional and not so flat looking LOL.

---

---

Then decided light green is the perfect background color for this portrait.

---

---

I added texture to it to make it more interesting, and I like it just like I do with the still life drawing I did earlier.

---

---

Close-up look!

---

3rd Head:

---

For the third portrait, I just fit it between the first and second LOL. I added the base color.

---

---

Fill everything up. I started with a darker color and then layered it with lighter.

---

---

---

Finish it up with texture and highlights.

---

---

---

This is a commitment that I really wanted to finish this year, and I guess I can do it! I hope you like it :D
