Will scrap this one as not happy with proportions and right side of face, but good practice.
Think I'm overblending the pastels, need to figure out how to use them properly.

pastels: paul rubens, mungyo gallery, sennelier
paper: canson mixed media

I am not sure how this painting is perceived, what do you think is going on here?
I made this with a 36 mungyo pastels box.
Hope you like it!

I wanted to start exploring hominin skulls and started with the oldest potential candidate (that we know of). Quick sketch in oil pastels.
I just bought my first set of artist grade oil pastels, which are soft and blend like a dream, but I HATE how messy they are. They smear all over my sketchbook, table, hands, and so on. I have a fixative spray, but it smells terrible, burns my throat, and STILL doesn't fully resolve the problem.
I desperately need tips. I use the Mungyo Gallery 48 set and Holbein crayon coat spray

I love making art based from real life photographs, and I had so much fun making these! I’m open to doing pretty much anything right now— landscapes, pet portraits, flowers, and any art based from a photo. Check out my Etsy if interested: etsy link here insta/ happylittlepastels
I don't know how to look it up and learn more, but in paintings like this what is the relation between the colors? Are they just random? Does the color not really matter as long as the values are correct? And what would be this style called so I could learn more about it
