Sure, if you have any idea on how to make it look good in your pieces where you use it

Someone post the chocolate bar gif.
If you know how to make it look good then why not? The problem is that you probably can't.

is there any difference between a crayon and an oil pastel?

>>3799429
I think crayons use a wax binder. pastels use oil.

Why are crayons so popular for children? Is it because it’s cheap to make over pencils?

they make good snacks

I recently sold a 12 x16" piece (crayon and chalk on linen) for $1100

>>3796388
Yes, but we call them pastels and use fancier oils in them.

They make professional grade crayons for artists, and things that are called crayons that are very different from what we give children.

Personally I'm interested in watercolor crayons, and have bought a couple to supplement my watercolor kit.

They're called conte crayons and pastels.

oil pastels are fucking awesome, but you could probably shave down normal crayons and simmer them in a pan with lin seed oil and make some nice smearing crayons that way. i think i might do that just for shits a giggles.

>>3799928
I think also because it's harder to break them by pressing too hard. Especially if you have jumbo crayons

>>3797305
yes, that's what is says, good job

I have used crayons to do realistic style pieces and they're fun for backgrounds imo. Anyways, a good trick is to take baby oil and a q-tip (or cotton ball for a larger radius) and dab just a little oil on it and use it to blend crayon layers. Having sturdy paper makes the difference too. Good luck.

I used to gesso up big sheets of paper, draw over them with oil pastels, then take a sponge brush dipped in turpentine and blend it all together, then once the turpentine had evaporated I would draw in the details with pastels. I also would use a China marker for blacks and details.

I got some really nice gradients and intense colors out of that.

The scent from crayola's is a good stress revealer, anything else, just worse pastels.

My ex gf used to tell me to 'put your little crayon in me now' and it turned me on for some reason.
