Question: what is the difference between oil pastels and crayons?
Answer: Crayons use wax and Oil pastels use non-drying oil and wax. ... Oil pastels are very rich, soft and creamy. Hence, they are very easy to smear, blend in, layer, mix, shaded, all with the help of our finger. As opposed to that, crayons are harder and the two crayon colours don't really mix together, very well.
