Hey hivers! Today's post is a continuation of my previous post which is about the oil pastel portrait entitled the "Sentiments of a Judged Soul". It took me a lot of time contemplating if I'll finish it or not. It's because I am worried what if it will look different from my digital art and the reference photo. But of course, I also want to get it done so that I got to see the finish product. So without a further ado, dive in and I'll show you.

It is a rough 9′ x 12′ piece of thick white paper, commonly used by elementary students for arts and crafts. It is the usual choice for art project because of its sturdiness and thickness – perfect for water-based paint and felt-tip markers.

I started emphasizing the shadow of his face using a black color while I add more brown color in his forehead, neck and even in his side face. Then, I applied a gray color to his hoodie.

Afterwhich, I used yellow as the color of his collar and add a grey and little hint of black to emphasize the shadow which has been casted by his hoodie and also filled the necessary colors to his neck.

I applied a black oil pastel to his hoodie and blend it using white to give a little darker color than the previous one. I filled his face's color including the little drip in his forehead using red, yellow and black. Then, I darken his eyebrows and draw the outline of his eyes again using black.

Lastly, I used a white ink in some parts of his face and let it dry in a bit and add a little black in some areas which the shadow has been casted. Viola, there it is! Hope you like it.
