Secret Weapon for Pencil Drawing

Disappointed. The thumbnail had me hopeful that a few shots of Grey Goose was the way forward.

This method is like a dry version of washes used in watercolor and ink.

Great great video. Thank you Matt.
I bought graphite at a hardware store to try after using graphite powder in a class.
I enjoy messy stiff I guess.

hold up you said ELECTRIC ERASER?!?
Now THAT'S a secret weapon!
i had no idea such a thing existed.

Are you using Stonehenge Watercolor paper?

It looks hard to do! I’m willing to try though.

Wow!! Amazing results!! I love it

As a very novice person, this is witchcraft, but I love it. Could watch this for hours.

Love this , Thank-you so much.🌸🇦🇺

My “art” area in my one bedroom apartment is a desk in my kitchen area. Unfortunately this would be way too messy.

Thank you for sharing your expertise. You're great.

"the secret weapon for pencil drawings is to not use a pencil" aight

Excellent Tutorial ❤

I just tried this, since I'm struggling with portraits atm, and holy crap! Nvr going back to the way I was doing it! Absolutely amazing!

Amazing video❤

Fantastic. This is precisely the information I've been lacking. Thank you!

I have a jar of graphite powder somewhere in my collection of drawing paraphernalia, gotta dig it out and play!

Very cool ❤

Thanks for the info! The background music also had some tasty grooves!

Do you have a list of materials you use to create these effects?

worse comes to worst you can always revert to the poor mans way to add value for things like backgrounds and clouds, you can brush around the shavings out of your electric or mechanical sharpener, the graphite shavings will add the value like powdered graphite and the wood shavings from the pencil shaft will just brush away. living where there's no art supply within a 100 miles sometimes you just got to make the best out of what you have.........

Love this...can't wait to try!

I'm a beginner . And ready went learn how to draw good poetry

So awesome 👍. Thank you so much for your tutorials. I've been drawing for so long and with ADHD and no formal schooling this truly inspires and helps me. It's refreshing to know that some techniques I use, like using pencil shavings, are actually real and I could've learned to do a lot earlier had I not been so hard headed...😂 God bless 🙏

Does this have a shine to the powder? A reflection? I try to stay away from pencils that cause shine.

Please get rid of that shit music in the background.

That is incredible! How u brought that to life like that. Thank you for sharing this tip.

wow it so simple to understand , i'm beginner but it way too useful for me to see in broader way to see pictures and try my drawing

Thank you❤❤❤

I dearly love this technique. Love the push/pull of graphite. Brings me great pleasure.

Both drawings looked so good. How do you seal them? Or isn’t this necessary? Thanks

Sad way to die due to insulation or exposure(health).

You look clean ( & civilized).

Best video on powdered graphite I have found! Introduced the water soluble powdered graphite to my students yesterday, wish I had seen this first!

This sounds way less abrasive to the paper!

I wanna know what that first eraser is?????

Just an incredible way of realism pencil drawing!😍

Liked your work very much

I find this contrived and nothing natural about it at all, seriously I’d hate to look that way ……just saying

I got a small jar and emptied the powder from my lead holder. Pure graphite. I use 4h, hb, and 4b; so, I can't tell you what the shading is. Probably closest to hb. So keep your powder from the sharpener of your lead holder instead of throwing it away. I still haven't been able to use it efficiently but I have it.

I.e. I have no idea if this would work with a wooden pencil. It won't work with mechanical unless you grind the lead.

I like to save my lead shaveing for this

Thank u for this tip

Brilliant!

Incredible! Great tips!!

Love watching your tips and lectures. Thank you!

Which animals hair brushes are as effective as possible for this process?

I just started drawing in 2020 when I turned 40. Thank u

simply spectacular!

I’ve been an artist for years…never heard of this. Thank you! Is there something similar for colored pencils? Right now I use pan pastels but they’re not always user friendly with some of the surfaces I use.
