i just realised that the top right corner

doesnt look that nice

but i guess its okay...

hairspray as a fixative

so i've been wanting to buy a fixative for ages
but since they're so expensive
i just left my drawings
but my mum found a post
that was saying how you could use
hairspray as a replacement for fixative
and it actually works pretty good


if you're planning to buy a hairspray
instead of fixative
make sure that the hairspray has no FRAGRANCE.


it works like a charm :)

just one of those days

painted backwards... my god

THIS GUY IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
he is painting with all these different types of techniques which is AWESOME
he paints with his
fingers
FACE
toothbrush
AND all that...WOW

done with a toothbrush

pencils, pens and brushes

everything needs a correct tool, including drawing
the most important tools for drawings,  are mostly
:) pencils
:) pens
:) brushes



the most commonluy used tool
is a greylead...

left: the 8B greylead
right: the lacquer coated graphite stick.
















the lacquer coated graphite pencil
is a pencil made entirely of graphite
lacquer is a varnish that gives a glossy surface and is a covering for the graphite
like the wood case for a normal pencil.

the ball of what looks like blu-tack

 on the top left corner,

is actually a kneaded eraser.

its mainly used for charcoal

the top right is a normal rubber

and the bottom rubber

 is basically a rubber cut into pieces,

which is good for edges.

the sharpner on the left is used for

grey leads. its not a good idea to use

the same sharpner for coloured pencils

and greyleads,

because the coloured pencils are

made up of wax, it can leave some

amounts which can ruin your

greyleads.

 



























this is the two types of charcoal that i use
the one on the left
is the willow charcoal
its the easiest to use

the one on the right,
is the compressed charcoal
i dont work well with those










then the colour pencils!!!
thses are my FAVOURITE medium to work with
probably because theyre soo colourful
:)














 recently, i watched this video which explains how to SHARPEN your coloured pencils
i tried it and it actually works a lot better

if you look at the purple pencil, which is sharpened using a sharpner, there is A LOT of wood shavings compared to the pink pencil, which i sharpened with a vege peeler :)

it makes the pencils last longer




AND FINALLY...
my prismacolor premeir colourless blender

is houldve put a picture uyp the day i bought it
but i dont know why my brain didnt get the idea

so this pencils obviously blends the
colour pencils together
you can also use
the colourless bleander marker which is AMAZING
but you could also use alcohol and a brush
which also works okay
though i wont try it.

:)

i have the bestest friends anyone could ask for
theyve known how long ive wanted the prismacolors
so the other day
when i told them that i ordered them.
they said
ohh you shouldnt have bought them
and i asked why
so they said that they were saving up to but them for me
for my birthday:)

teehee

breaking news

people of the world
i have finally ordered................

using graphite pencils

graphite pencils are basically grey leads
but the difference is that
the graphite pencil’s lead is a lot softer
than a normal HB pencil.

graphite pencils come in different grades
from the darkest to the lightest

i use the simple set of six
8B, 6B, 4B, 2B, HB and 2H

i did have the set of 12 once,
but i took it to india,
and lost it there

so, graphite pencils are pretty easy to use
BUT
they can sumdge very easily
which ruins the drawing pretty bad


fixative can be used 
to be sprayed over your drawing...
BUT 
make sure that its  WORKABLE fixative



i did this drawing when i was in year 7,
its not exactly graphite pencil used completely,
the trees are a darker grade of pencil,
and the foggy area is just graphite powder*


*i just sharpened a grey lead, removed the wooden flakes and used the dust to smudge up the area

my dream come true...

i was literally DROOLING

(mentally)

over the keyboard

when i saw these photos...

no kidding

they have THOUSANDS

of pencils stuck 

on their walls

                                                                     ...sigh...sigh...sigh...
