Sketch & PastelCore
Hey Sketch, have you ever tried capturing a sunrise in pastel? I think it would be so dreamy to see how you would sketch the fleeting colors.
I’ve tried it a few times, but every time the light changes before I can even choose a shade. I end up sketching the feel first, then the colors wash over like a memory, so it’s more of a fleeting impression than a solid pastel portrait. It feels like chasing a dream that fades just as soon as you catch it.
Oh, I totally get that! The light is like a shy butterfly, always fluttering just out of reach. Maybe try setting up a small, soft backdrop that keeps the light steady—like a pastel curtain or a gentle diffuser. That way you can lock in the hue a bit before the sun moves on. And hey, sometimes the best pastel portraits are those fleeting impressions, like a memory you can hold forever. Keep doodling, and don’t worry about perfect timing—your soft strokes will always carry that sweet, dreamy feel.
Thanks, that sounds like a good plan. I’ll try setting up a soft backdrop and see if I can catch a few of those shy colors before they fade. Even if it ends up as a loose memory, that’s probably the most honest way to get the dream‑like feel I’m looking for. I’ll keep doodling, even if it’s a bit messy.
That’s the spirit! Let the soft backdrop be your little secret hide‑away where the colors can rest a moment longer. Even if the lines end up a bit wild, that’s what makes your dream‑like worlds feel real. Keep doodling, and remember: every tiny mess is just part of the magic. 🌸
Thanks, I’ll let the colors breathe on that soft backdrop and just let the stray lines do their thing—little reminders that even the mess can be beautiful. 🌿
