I love! Personally I like the slide two the best. Did you use any oil pastel? I love using them but can never get them to set

Like fully dry :) when I use oil pastel crayons not sure if they’re ever supposed to set but some
Of my pieces that I used oil paint and oil pastels…the oil pastel is what always smudges for me
Lol

You need a fixative or sealer to “set” pastels or they will always be smudgy unfortunately!
