You are so beautiful

4:23 larger books than the painting... oh no

Mine is from ‘KINGART’ and I searched up a tutorial on how to turn it into gum and it said ‘stretch it’ but that only broke my eraser so I came here to ask for ideas on how to fix it Please help I need it

I use the harder pencils in these for skin because they lay down so smoothly and blend out so well. I don't love the darker ones and generally stick with my pitt matte from faber castell or for less blend-ability I use the Mars black stadlear for things like eyelashes and eyebrows etc. A range of different pencils all have their place for me.

Makes me wonder if the supply comes from a substandard manufacturer and then marketed under a more known name retailer.

Great 👍

It's one of the best erasers out there. Most plastic erasers are better than the pink erasers that should have gone out of production decades ago. No dust, but rolled up strands of removed graphite in eraser residue.

This is so helpful, I was so mad that I couldn’t find it out myself before watching this video, but it worked afterwards! Keep up and thank you so much! ❤

Thanks so much, i ordered these recently and wanted to know about them more!

i want to find one for the whole purpose of smudging, is there any options?

Same way with guitar

You absolutely CANNOT get leads out when they break inside. UGH!!!!

Thank you for the video . I do a lot of fashion illustration work and an on the look out for a drawing board . Love this light weight Martin universal board . But I see from your video , that the board only tilts to a 30 degree angle . Normally a drawing board comes up till 45 degree . While drawing for long hours ; is a 30 degree angle comfortable?

Yours has been the most useful instructional video I've come across yet ❤ thank you

5:38 for people who are just trying to find the answer

Omg thats why I'm the worst artist ever 😂

Its been recommended to me to use glassine to protect my Oil pastels during shipping but in my online searches for glassine the results come up with 'glassine wax paper' or 'glassine tracing paper' or glassine bags. 'Can u recommend a brand name that is definitely the real deal? thank you

...oh, I KNEEAAD IT

That isn't a gummy eraser. That is a kneaded eraser. If you're going to post a "teaching" video, teach the correct terms.

Which is better mitsubishi hi uni or faber castell 9000?

I have a Lera. I used it twice and then it went crazy sticky. If I try to pull it too far, it breaks and disintegrates into little pieces. Is that normal for this? And it’s incredibly sticky. Leaves a residue all over my fingers.

Try the Koh i Noor kneadable eraser. Those are woeful. Way worse than the Prismacolor. I stay with Faber Castell these days. I know i'm getting something useable, and i just love squishing them.

Im 15 and i have been experiencing back, shoulder, and neck pain since i was 10, this really helped, and my back feels more refreshing if that makes sense lol

Thank you we’ll explain tutorial

I am new to drawing and was researching books on drawing the human figure and faces. Loomis' book seemed appealing but your review convinced me that Hamm's book would meet my preferences much better as a beginner. I found your review very helpful. Thank you very much and also to the positive comments below.

I really like using blackwing pencils :)

As a computer science student, I can tell that this video was really helpful. Thank you @LZM Studio

Wish I'd seen this video before I bought the Prismacolor --it is exactly as she describes it--awful, crumbly and non-pliable. Don't get it. I'm tossing mine right now--who wants a replacement of something of such quality. Will try one of the others.

Why don’t u just use carbon paper? Then pencil doesn’t get wasted on scribbling on back of art? I am not knocking u. I am just curious. Loved video. Keep them coming. :)

Great, but how do i remove them if my rubber doesnt work.

What about the pro art brand erasers from the drawing set? The kneaded eraser was hard , I just opened it about 20mins ago and trying to figure out how to save it 😢 I bought it last year and I just opened it... I didnt think to save the receipt

Really? You can't draw a LANDSCAPE by eye? Stop making YT vids now!

Hi I also started own channel

This sounds like if used correctly it probably pairs well with James Gurneys Color and Light that goes into the why and how of color and light effects.

Thank you for sharing this! I just got home from the art supply store and picked up some workable fixatif to use on my project, not knowing final fixatif exists. Sounds like it might just be marketing and I can just use workable fixatif as final if I wanted to. It seems a little silly for me to buy another can of earth polluting chemicals that I don't need. I'll spray my project down and see how it ages! :)

Thank you

Pretty nice thank you!!

Letting mine soak on water helped but I also made the mistake for trying to heat it and it just got harder xDD I wasn't sure if they where more plastic or more clay so this was my way of experimenting. Mine was the super hard crumbly one

I've been drawing for an art book I'm working on for year my posture was perfect and now it horrible IDK what happened

Quite helpful. .

Gracias ❤

I have two prismacolor kneaded erasers and didn’t open them forever, and they are hardened on the outside. I carefully peeled away the hard outer shell, and kept the softer parts, but I am trying to see if I chop up the hard parts, and see if we can soften it

Thank you for your recommendation on this drawing board. It looks fantastic but it’s just a little out of my budget right now. I will look into it for the future. I returned the two easels that I didn’t need and I got a drawing board very similar to the one you have. I got it at Hobby lobby for 32 bucks. That was more in my budget right now. it’s definitely big enough for the art that I do and it’ll work for my needs right now. It’s not made out of the same material that yours is; it’s made out of Beechwood (hence the low price), but it’s still functions the same as yours. it doesn’t have the adjustable horizontal bar, but it does have the ledge at the bottom.

Love Blackwings and never felt the need to collect all of them... there's only four lead types, which is easy to memorize. I have the standard leads and one special edition because I enjoyed the look of it.

I hate it when I'm closing my sketch book and then it smudge how can I prevent it from happening?

Fast as well --I use it every day --to enlarge my wildlife fotos onto Canvas X 4

Try. ArtTutor Grid Pic----very easy. to use --!

I have the same one. My trick is to place it on the edge of the surface, then you can push it all the way down.
