Drawing fabric is a challenging task for me I tried to draw using soft pastel and I would be happy to read your feedback to improve my artwork

Hi @rab3a99
This is a great “start”. I say this because one of the things that is hard to learn - especially with pastels and colored pencils - is that the secret is lots of layers. Pretty much as much as the “tooth” of the paper can handle.
What is happening with your drawing is that the viewers eye is drawn to the texture of the paper showing through. Adding more layers of pastel and / or “blending” what you have already done will raise the quality of the drawing to a new and wonderful level.
Happy drawing. If you decide to work on this further, please post the results.
I’d also suggest you watch some of the Member’s Minutes and look for ones that Matt has critiqued using pastels.

I think it is very well done.
When I read your feedback, I added more layers, and there was a big difference. I will redraw it again because the paper got dirty with the colors. Thank you.

Thank you for your encouragement
@rab3a99
What kind of paper did you use, and what size? I cannot recall if you mentioned it before.

I haven’t heard of this brand before. Thanks for sharing.

I think it’s more suitable for oil pastels.
