Ya, but if it's Oil Pastel, the dust is extremely toxic & dangerous...

You should always wear a mask.
Never blow on the drawing to get the excess dust off, let it fall on it's own.
Work on a vertical easel (like she has) so the dust falls down.
You should work in a well ventilated room also.

Trust me I went to art school for two years, that shit is one of the most, if not the most, dangerous art mediums to work with, it's pure toxic poison.
