Sketch here.

More context on my previous picture.
I tried to be a bit riskier with colors but I couldn't figure out how to mix with oil pastels, so I was more or less stuck with what was offered in the box.
Also, there are some weird things happening in black if you were to see it in person. I've been toying with using the hairdryer a bit, which melts the oil pastel causing it to get soaked into the paper, which results in loss of the brushstrokes texture and makes everything a bit more matte. Soaked pastels cannot be scratched off anymore, but you can do some contrast with soaked vs drawn over. I haven't really delved into how much the colors mix in these circumstances. Just throwing ideas for future attempts.

Good observation! It could be because many of them are perpendicular and parallel to each other. A lot of the shapes I do have edges that continue from one shape to another, all because my hand wants to connect everything, but not too much to keep it just organic enough.
It felt almost as if the moment the first line was drawn, everything is preset how it's gonna go due to the geometric patterns.

It's good to see you use oil pastels for your drawings Wolfe, i find them very reliable to use when I paint on paper, but i need to improve mixing them together too.
What you wrote about heatening the oil pastel sounds very interesting too, I only use them as they are, but I can see the value of using them like that as well. I have also attempted to combine oil pastels with watercolor and i like the results so far, and with pencil colors and crayons as well.
