Crayola Oil Pastel for $5? Unboxing and Trying it
Hello, how are you? This month, I've been playing with oil pastel again, and I decided to watch a lot of artist vlogs using oil pastel, and a lot of artists like using the Crayola oil pastel, like how Crayola has oil pastel, and I was like, I am going to try this no matter what.
I like to start with a budget-friendly brand sometimes, they're not disappointing. However, I have doubts sometimes, so I did my research before committing to it.
Let's Do Unbox!
My order was delivered the day after I ordered it, which is fast, and I guess the seller feels my excitement to try it LOL. It is wrapped with bubble wrap, which is good.
And it is packed with a cardboard for extra protection.
The paper case is safe and undamaged, which is a relief for me, and the oil pastels are all okay, no broken pastels, and it is all 24 pieces, and a little bit of pastel smudges, but it is okay, I can clean it after.
This color made me buy one for myself. The color name is brick red, and I did a palm swatch, which oil pastel artists do, and it is so satisfying.
After that, I do swatches on the paper just to see the actual color of each pastel, and I label it with the name of the color, too. Now I get those artists I watch that reviewed this oil pastel, they're opaque and vibrant too, and easy to blend.
Let's Try The Oil Pastel!
I start with a sketch first, using the gray pastel. I do freestyle with the sketch, just let my hand do the work with the reference LOL.
I first layer it with pink pastel just to try if it works.
After that, I layer the gray sketch with brick red pastel to do the line art. I like to start to render the skin first, so I use a skin color pastel, and then I start adding layers to the eye part too.
Then I render the eyebrows and the eyes too.
I started to layer and render the hair too, which I really like, and I started adding a lighter color to the reference and to tone up the portrait. I added the background color, which makes the portrait look even better.
To finish the portrait, I added a darker color, which is black, to the eyelashes and to the part that needed to be dark. And then I use my clay tool to add texture to the portrait and to add a highlight too.
Done! The oil pastel is easy to work with and very opaque. I just needed to use a lot of force to blend the color right, but for $5, the quality exceeded my expectations! I really like it. This oil pastel is perfect for portraits, in my opinion.
Thank you for visiting, see you on my next blog. :D
Please take care of your mental health as well.

Same! I only knew just this month hahaha oh yeah it is good~
maybe I'll try this after i use up my deli pastels 🤔🤔
sure sure~ I heard deli oil pastel is good too? Are they soft?
oh deli is realy soft, you can use a palette knife to blend it 🥹 and the blending is soo smooth, you don't need to apply a lot of pressure just to get it to blend
Oh wow! I must try this one. Yeah you can do 3d oil pastel on that one too.
i mean, this was made from deli so i can vouch that they're good ^^
Wow! So ganda ng drawing! Sige try ko siya bilhin next time. 😁
you know i love my frogs 🤣🤣 and look how smooth the blending is 🥹 tell me whatchu think when u get itttt
Ohh, its a good buy I guess? The final look of your art looks pretty, as always naman. Nakakaamze pa rin yong blending ng color, saka yong shading ba.
