Oil pastels are oil pastels for the very reason that they are used
for lose drawing or to similate painting. If you want to draw tight,
then you should try
pencils like Prismacolor--which are waxy and can be worked
somewhat like pastels, but are hard enough to make into pencils.
Prismacolor also comes in sticks similar to pastel sticks.

Apply the oil pastel to a fine grade bristol paper. Once you've
applied it to the paper, take a cotton cloth (or even paper towels)
and wipe off the oil pastel blending it with adjacent colors to form
smooth, lyrical boundaries. Next, take the prismacolor pencils and
overlay their detail as a finishing layer atop the oil pastel. This
technique provides you the best of both worlds: vibrant color with as
much detail as you desire. I've used this technique for the past 10
years and have found it an excellent medium. When you're finished,
try spraying the entire piece with one of the popular acrylic spray
finishes. I prefer the glossy to the matte finish.
