Ok so I recently started using chalk pastels because my friends recommended it to me because Im a "Artist in the making" as they call me. I tried it a couple times for the past week and I have fallen in love with doing it. They different shades are amazing! I personally like using my hands and fingers to shade though. Anyways, I have become extremely good at using them and I was wondering if you could give me websites of already finished chalk pastel drawings and stuff so that I can do some more with the pastels. Oh and how do you sharpen a chalk pastel because mine are in kinda brick form so its harder to get good thin lines. 13/f Thanx :)

Dear Questioner (or potentially the a up and coming artist!),
for my art GCSE i used chalk pastels to draw:
-pictures of sculptures (Andy Moore sculptures i think i drew with them)
-leaves and flowers, close ups of them
-people
-things with shading the only thing i can think of is like an alleyway but that has the potential to be much too difficult for chalk pastels.
I used to also draw people sleeping with acrylic paint or similar texture (this was part of my module i wasn't a creep!) and then i used to smudge some pastel over to get a dream-like effect.

Sorry I cant give any webistes of already done work peices but there are some ideas to get some inspiration from your head.

and regarding "sharpening them" i dont think you can, try getting a bit of scrap paper and making a point for yourself :)

I used to have 2 sets, one witth a pointed bit and one i would use on its side for shading. expensive but not a bad idea if you use them alot.
