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.
