What are pastel drawings and illustrations?

Pastel drawings and illustrations are works of art done on a variety of surfaces—such as canvas or textured paper—using soft pastels, hard pastels, or pastel pencils to create an image. Pastels are sticks of pigment that are both vibrant and very blendable. Pastel illustrations and drawings combine the impeccable detail of pencil drawings with the rich colors of a painting. The creative artists on Etsy create a wide range of custom and one-of-a-kind pastel drawings and illustrations to add to your art collection and dress up the walls of your home or office.

What are the different types of pastel drawings?

You’ll find an eye-catching range of pastel drawing and illustration options from artists on Etsy. Consider some of these options: Landscapes: Evocative and inviting, pastel landscapes depict a view of the countryside. Picture a rolling mountain silhouetted on the horizon in front of fluffy clouds or a shimmering stream surrounded by fresh spring wildflowers. Portraits: Ranging from realistic to imaginative, pastel portrait drawings capture the look and essence of a human or animal subject. You can also work with an artist on Etsy to commission a custom pastel portrait of your pet or family members. Still life: From flowers and food to vases and home decor, pastel still life illustrations and drawings typically showcase an arrangement of objects, such as fruit, flowers, and household objects in varying shapes, textures, and sizes. Abstracts: One of the most difficult genres of art to define, pastel abstract art focuses on shape, feeling, color, and contrast rather than visually recognizable shapes and objects.
