Good pictures to try for chalk pastels.
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.

Hey! (:
Chalk pastels are amazing! Good recommendation there haha.
Are your pastels soft? If they are there isn't much you can do to sharpen them (unless they're short enough to mold haha. I joke). But that's if they're really soft. If not, you could use a knife/blade to carefully shave them to a point or break off pieces to get the edge to do thin lines.
As for the sites, there is always deviantart.com. It's a website full of artists who put up their work and, trust me, they're all splendid. It's a really popular site for artwork done by the average artist (average person creations) and/or professionals. (:

I'm sure your drawings are fabulous! Keep creating~
