I found a pastel/charcoal holder in the craft shop. I bought it, forgot to try it. No idea if that would help you get around that sensory thing. I myself thought it might help with the messiness of them! I never took to oil pastels, I never seemed to be able to get them to do what I wanted :-(
I love the way you did the fabric too, j-t! And the lighting. And choice of colours.
LOL! Uh, it's okay, you don't have to give just compliments. I don't have a lack of confidence problem when it comes to art, I just have a lack of good critique from other people problem!
ROFL!!! Seriously I DO like the way the fabric is done. Leonie Approves too (we always get her to help whenever we draw fabric, and Eddy used to get her to help when he was painting his warhammer models, his models had the most realistic, accurate clothing of any warhammer armies we ever saw ;-P)
If you want my art-reviewer honest critic, I will give it to you?
hehe! Leonie said to suggest the term "sewing fanatic" *grins*
Ok will do. gotta go to work (hopefully) soon, so will do it later. And you to ok? I want critique too - it is the only real way of getting better huh?

LOL about Eddy's armies, it pays to have a real - what do you call yourself? Dressmaker, seamstress, fashion designer? Oh, weaver, of course! help.
