After some errand running, I finally got home to play with my new acquisitions. With a smidgen of trial & error to mix the right color & find the right brush, I am pleased with the results so far.
As I mentioned yesterday, I have been lightly touching on the world of pastels. What I'm interested in doing with it is dappling & I have used it on a few minis with great success. I wanted to see if it would work as well on a Trad, & Rastus is the lucky guanine pig. I had planned on testing this out yesterday, but of course, the few pastels & charcoals I have here were the wrong shades to even pretend to match him. So this necessitated a voyage to the one craft store in my area that has pastel chalk. ...Rastus came along to make sure I got the right colors. After some errand running, I finally got home to play with my new acquisitions. With a smidgen of trial & error to mix the right color & find the right brush, I am pleased with the results so far. There is still going to be plenty of tinkering with it yet, so don't judge them too harshly! I have a pretty good idea of what I am aiming for, & how I will achieve it. I'm looking forward to continuing with them tomorrow, so check back again!
