I know I keep promoting

drawesome challenges (which is focused more on drawing rather than painting) but I thought this one would interest some of you, too:

This month’s challenge is a cool intermediate step between drawing and painting: Using mid-tone paper and black and white

Digital or traditional art is welcome!

Hey fellow artists! The new fanart community

drawesome has been really active since its inception in July and there are two posts that might be interesting for you guys too (disclaimer, yes I made those posts).

Posing references

This is a list of books, online articles, stock image sites and tutorials we compiled. I'd love more links though.

Storing art

This is a discussion I started today mainly because I don't feel I have a proper storage solution for my pastels yet.

I'd be delighted if some of you add your own resources or thoughts here in this post or over at

drawesome. We artists should help each other out!

Hey all, I made a pastel drawing of a galaxy that I want to use as a background later but thought the WIP shots might be interesting to some folks here. It was the first time I attempted anything space-related in that medium and it went surprisingly well.

Final product:

finished spiral galaxy

Materials: rough white sketching paper A4-size, pastel chalks and pastel pencil

The WIP shots are in my journal.

Hi everyone, I posted a completed work from my course on pastels here in my journal.

I don't use this community nearly enough!
I keep forgetting it exists. *blush*
Anyway, here's some of my recent soft pastel work.
And by recent, I mean today.
I even mean 'currently getting pastel dust on the keyboard.'
