Both are great to use. Pastels are usually oil based which is a more natural medium to hold the color pigment and Conte is a fabricated medium that holds the medium making it more of a chalk type material...much harder than pastels....Ummm...kind of like oil paints versus acyrlic paints.

Hehe, you know- in Polish both pastels and conte are called 'pastels'... :lol: ... that's why I confused it... :oops:

Actually I didn't use pastels too often, I definitely prefer conte... :)

Me too...conte is not as messy as charcoal or graphite and you can have MUCH more control with conte than you can oil pastels.

Keep up the great work and please post more!!

I've used Conte pastels for hand coloring....generally think of them as my "chalk" pencils, that's how they feel and handle, unlike Prismacolor or oil pencils. They're very easy to use when I can't use the photo oils on a particular substrate, like watercolor paper.

Aga, your drawings are fabulous. :D You do really good work!
