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.
