why I rarely post crayon content. randomass tradslop. mild [censored] warning

I hate crayons they get the colors wrong

[WeedAreTheWorld]

You crayon haters are ridiculous I love coloring with crayons

[Yanderemenhera]

@NeverLetMeDown they always break in my pencil sharpener and if you fυck up, you can't erase it or use white out the way you might with a pen and it's there forever, and it's extremely hard to get detail in the drawing with how big crayon tips are.

I will admit though i'd rather use 50 cent crayons over oil pastels though.

@Yanderemenhera

Oil pastels are definitely better to work with, although apparently if you get a hair dryer and blow it onto the drawing it melts the wax a bit and then you can blend properly.

To say you hate using them, it still looks pretty good. You should try experiment with more stuff!

@Yanderemenhera

I detest oil pastels. And pastels of any kind actually

[Yanderemenhera]

@NeverLetMeDown tineballen is usually drawn by her artist (jo_spiu) in pastels, and I drew her in pastels. her skin is quite literally pink, and I used purple instead of black or grey

[Yanderemenhera]

@Aries oil pastels are good for blending but not much else, I usually prioritize detail above all else so i'm not a fan of oil pastels for that reason. crayons are slightly better with detail, but it's not great.

[Yanderemenhera]

one of tineballen's official designs, her design varies in things like stitch amounts, and what she's wearing but she's basically a frankenstine who is reanimated by her girl friend regularly because she dies a lot.

since she has short hair, people regularly call her a boy, she is a girl. she just has short hair and a more assurtive demenar. she is likely intended to be a butch lesbian, but i'm not entirely sure what the intention was since the person who made her is Korean and I don't speak/read korean (she does have a lot of translated works though) and tbf, idk if a butch lesbian is a concept in Korea

@Yanderemenhera agreed
i love crayons but im really bad at usin em

[Yanderemenhera]

@sweetpuddin yeah, I thought you're art was crayon ( ꈨຶ ˙̫̮ ꈨຶ ) I was like "woah,this person must've mastered how to use crayon"I was shocked to find out it was markers

[ladiesman217]

@Yanderemenhera damn
i use like a lotta stuff (acrylic/alcohol markers, coloured pencils) but very rarely crayons

[Yanderemenhera]

@sweetpuddin I mostly use cheap color pencils (like crayola, crayola actually has some nice skin colored pencils and i've never seen any other higher-end brands like Prismacolor have designated skin tones on a wide variety of colors ) and felt tip pens for inking, I hate ballpoint and fountain tip pens are messy as hell so I rarely draw with those

[w1ckedsticky1983]

@Yanderemenhera i swear i replied to this, but anygays, I would actually love colouring with crayons. The hate is so forced, it all just depends on the versatility of your own skills and art style. I would colour with crayons more often, but its really rare in general when i colour my sketches anyways. I lava the messy look it sorta gives off

[Yanderemenhera]

@w1ckedsticky1983 if I could make some reccomendations if you ever do decide to, i'd say to go with crayola crayons above other brands since they are usually well-pigmented, in terms of price, it's not hard to find a multipack with basic colors for 50 cents if they're on sale, if not, a small box is usually $1.25 USD in stores like Walmart.
use a large part of a pencil sharpener to sharpen them, not the small part. (most pencil sharpeners i've seen come with two holes, one big, one small) and be very careful not to over-sharpen or use too much pressure because it WILL break.
and only other thing I can think to stress is go for a simple design or a close-up of a face, crayons blend very well and create nice gradients but detail isn't their thing.
