5 MUST HAVE DRAWING SUPPLIES for ANY GRAPHITE ARTIST

Pentel Ain Stein, 3B and 4B 0.5mm leads. can go as dark, as the darkest Faber Castell leads. Even their 2B can go really dark if you keep layering, or add a bit more presure.Add a Graphgear 500 0.5mm pencil and you have the best pencil for drawing!!!
My favorite drawing paper, is the Hahnemuhle Dessin 150gsm (quality that leaves you speechless!). Another great choice, for finished work that is going to be sold, it's the Arches Hot pressed watercolor paper.
For lead holders, Kohinoor 5340 for sketching and Faber Castell TK4600/9400 for drawing, are the best in the market. Tip, use the same leads as the pencil brand, on each pencil, they also make the best leads and you also get compatibility!!!
Best Sketchbook: Canson 180 Artbook or Canson Universal (same paper on both)
PS: Those are the best drawing and sketching supplies you can get. (best in terms,reliability of quality and performance)

Kneaded eraser helps as well😊

awesome

I have a 10B pencil which was requested by one of my relative coz i complained abt how my pencil wasn't dark enough for the realistic drawing details. But it wasn't dark at all and i always thought why isn't it.. Now i understand it needs to sharpen pretty well.

l prefer the pentelgraphgear 1000😊

which paper do you use?

Great video

You all could just go with a 8B or a higher grade pencil instead of the black polychrome it just works fine and you know what if you do so you can also use the mono zero eraser.

What pencil holder are you using for the polychromos pencil?

I need that eraser but I use whatever I have only 1 pencil ✏️ for drawings ☺️

I quit drawing as a kid even though I was told by teachers and family I was really good. I let mean kids discourage me from pursuing art and now at 33 I’m getting back into drawing. Your video is very helpful 🙂

1. Clicked the video
2. She went straight to the pointers I was looking for
3. Demonstrated all of this under 6 minutes (ignoring the 5 seconds)
4. Received great insight

Kirsty you're a beauty! 😎

Well, I use up to 8B in mechanical pencils and, with the right pencils, never have a problem with the lead breaking. There are very cheap mechanical pencils on the market now that you can use with no lead at all extending past the pipe. These even allow the use of 0.3 lead without breakage. I do wish I could get somewhat more expensive pencils that have this feature, but the cheap ones work very well. I can also use very soft leads in drafting style mechanical pencils without worry about breakage. It just takes a little practice.

This said, some things are just easier with woodcase pencils, and I find very intricate detail is easier with woodcase pencils because I can get a sharper point. I don't know what kinds of pencils and sharpeners you use, but I have no trouble at all with the lead breaking when I sharpen a pencil., even if it's a 9B, which is the darkest I use.

I don't liking colored pencil in a graphite drawing. It does work, but but even with the best colored pencils, I still don't like how difficult it can be to erase., and, for me, I can get very dark graphite down just by using softer pencils such as the 9B I mentioned.

Oddly, I do like using some graphite in a colored pencil drawing. I use graphite in two ways. The most obvious use a graphie pencil very lightly to test whether what I want to achieve actually looks right. But there are times when it's easier for me to get certain tones with graphite than with colored pencils. This will usually be in a very small area, but sometimes I like using graphite in the background of certain drawings.

I do LOVE the Tombow eraser. When outside, I often use the eraser on my drafting pencils which are almost exactly the same size, but the Tombow is better. It's just that sometimes, out in the woods, or sitting in a restaurant, convenience makes up for a bit of extra quality, and the drafting eraser is already in my hand.

Nice list. I will definitelly add a white charcoal. Must have for lights, especially if you use a black pencil.

She seems to be a most charming young lady and quite a talented artist. Unfortunately I do not speak her language so I didn't get much out of her video.

Incredibly useful tips on products, thanks.

I never took art in school although art is my favourite thing in this world and now I regret it. I recently had a miscarriage a few months ago so sunk into a deep depression and getting back into art has really helped me and so have your videos so thank you💗I’ve learnt a lot from you!

thanks I'll use your affiliate links! Never drawn / sketched before and I was overwhelmed by 12 different pencils to start with. I assume this also works for bloody beginners who start with sketching or would you recommend to go with other stuff?

excellent.

thank you mrs. krusty!, everything you taught to us was really helpful!

ang ganda i mean beautiful

Ooowavvvvv

Good! I subscribed, i draw too, i hope that my drawings can inspire

Thank you for sharing. What's the sharpener that you use to sharp the 4B pencil? love the pointer that it given.

Just a little extra thing: you don't get 'darker' graphite, it gets softer, the softer the pencil the more goes onto the page and then adds 'darkness'. Just a random little technicality that bugs me sometimes. This is great tho, thanks Kirsty.

Her fingernails 🤢

Thats awesome. I'm gonna try out that black polychromus pen tomorrow, awesome tip! I'm combining soft charcoal with graphite sometimes, but I dont like the messyness of it, and also very hard to erase, if not impossible when it's gone deep enough.

Also, there are different grades & sizes of mechanical pencils up to 2mm.

I can shade with almost any type of drawing tool, pencils, colored pencils, crayons, pens, colored pens, paint (using just one paint colour), and many more types!

Things that You Need:
1. Mechanical Pencil

What kind of paper you using mam... Please tell me that

Good lord, the British accent is so attractive lol... Anyhow, back to reality... thanks for these art tutorials and tips!

Stunning artwork! I love it 👍🇦🇺

Can I sharpen the stump?

Me who is an anime artist wondering if this will actually help me in anyway cause I already use a mechanical pencil

Why is the tumbo mono eraser not erasing smoothly for me?

Danke für deine Tipps . Können sie mir auch einen geben zu : verschmierten beim radieren , trotz softem aufbau mit dem Bleistift ✏️??? Liegt es am Papier ( Aquarell fein ) . Bei ihnen sieht das so easy aus mit dem gewünschten Resultat .

I appreciate videos with dense information and meaningful content, so many videos now never get to the point and are filled with rambles/sponsors/ads that take up the majority of the video, so thanks, very helpful video!

thank you so much you really help me out

Here
We will call that mechanical pencil as penpencil in my school
Its looks like pen but pencil so penpencil

👍❤

tombow eraser pen??? ohh i just ordered the same brand of eraser pen you've been using

can u recommend any charcoal powder bands pls ?

If you can master a cheap pencil and eraser, that's a true artist. 100 years ago they didn't have all these fancy pencils and still had fantastic art.

I all I need is that eraser. I'm too scared to erase the shading, it feel like I have to redraw or repeat the same process I make.

Thank you for the drawings tips and I have to get a mechanical pencil

i need that all five tools

Thanks for very informative video. What is the pencil holder your using to hold the polychromos pencil. I think you left it out on the video.thank you!
