I’ve only used them as a kid, and the hard/waxy type so using soft oil pastels was really enjoyable. I still need more practice and I also want to paint more loosely with them, and lose the fear of applying more and getting more textures. I'm still too stuck in the way I paint with oils.
I bought Mont-Marte pastels because they’re so cheap but still creamy and pleasant to work with while not worrying that I’ll mess up and waste the fancy ones at this stage. (I’ll wait until I’m more confident before using the Sennelier and Carand’ache ones, or the Sennelier oil pad I bought) 
I used colors from the Natural Hues set and Macaron set only.
The sketchbook here is a Soho oil pastel pad from Amazon, about 8x8 inches.
