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 🙂

[@chichichu6870]

aww I'm glad that you came back on doing what you love. I also stoped and idk when to start yet cuz life's been so busy but I'm starting on what do I need and going back to basics

[@aryamansinghgaharwar]

Aww

[@daztro]

Look my channel also I also uploaded my anime drawings and other Watch and support....

[@ChosenVessel10]

Me too n that's how I found this video did a couple drawings the other day n want to take it up a notch. I stop drawing when I started learning how to shade,if I had learnt that I wouldn't have stopped. 30 now but trying to get to what I love as a kid

[@greekveteran2715]

I also quit drawing when I was 17. It is by far the bigest mistake I've done in my life and the only I have really regreted. I got back into drawing at 41 years old (1 year ago). Stories of our life, at ;least on that part, are the same! Only the numbers of years are different! I've seen huge improvement, in only one year of watching videos and practicing. Every 3 months, the drawings I was proud for,suddenly. look poor and I love, that this repeats with time!! The more I draw, the better I become. I hate when people keep saying,that it's all about talent,there is NO talent, it's only how much studing and hard work you've put into it!! It's all about how much you love anything you do!!

[@shayat3638]

Oooh I need that eraser

[@KirstyPartridgeArt]

Link is in description, I really recommend getting it if you work with graphite 💕😀

[@sabretooth717]

Any artstore should sell it or online go to jetpens

[@andreydacosta4277]

Me too

[@matthewsjc1]

You should try the Art-n-Fly mechanical eraser! Just got one and it’s incredible! It also comes with 51 refills, all for $10! Here’s a link: www.amazon.com/Battery-Operated-Electric-Refills-Graphite/dp/B07BH3K287

"And the 4th thing you need is black polychromos pencil..." dad we're going to the store

[@avagrace7425]

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!

[@h.danielandujar4322]

I've been drawing with graphite for almost 7 years now, and never heard of that Eraser. Thanks! That's the final piece that I need for my artworks!😁

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! 😎

[@KirstyPartridgeArt]

QOTD: What is your favourite drawing supply for your graphite drawings? All material links are in the description 😊

[@aiyachayothin4693]

Kirsty Partridge Art I LOVE THE BLACK CARAN D’ACHE LUMINANCE

[@MaryDraws]

Synthetic brushes for blending! I can't choose just one so I also hate to go without a kneaded eraser as well as my tombow.

[@ForeverLumoz]

Mary Tales how do you blend with synthetic brushes? I'm relearning drawing, so I'm generally curious. And what do you use the the Tombow for?

[@MaryDraws]

Line B the synthetic brushes are soft enough imo to use to sweep the graphite into the tooth of the paper without damaging the surface. I think Kirsty also mentions using them in a recent video. After I leave this comment, I'll find out which one it was and let you know. Feel free to google using paintbrushes for blending though. The tombow I use for picking out highlights in eyes or hair. Really anything I want a strong highlight on. The kneadable eraser I use for soft highlights with soft edges.

[@MaryDraws]

Line B OK its called "best ways to blend graphite pencils" kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3q9gqaFrbl3n9E I've used brushes for years bc I love how soft the results are. Also bc I have water soluble graphite too. Any cheap pack of soft brushes from Walmart will do to start out learning to blend with them. Fluffy brushes are nice too.

[@aesthetart]

Things that You Need: 1. Mechanical Pencil 2. Darker Graphite 3. Blending Stump 4. Black Polychromos 5. Tombow Mono Eraser

[@BONSAII_DRAWS]

Thanks so much for this! its really helpful to not need to skip through the video or write it down

[@greekveteran2715]

Best drawing and sketching supplies list: Pentel Graphgear 500 0.5mm,is the best pencil for drawing!!! Best Drawing paper, is the Hahnemuhle Dessin 150gsm (quality that leaves you speechless!). For finished work that is going to be sold, best paper is: Arches Hot pressed watercolor paper. Lead holders are a "must", Kohinoor 5340 for sketching and Faber Castell TK4600/9400 for drawing, are the best in the market.(For beginers, choose Kohinoor 5347 lead holder,instead of the 5340) 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) Best paperstump: Conte (trust me, they differ a lot from brand to brand.If you can't find Conte, get the Faber Castell. it's not as good, but it's better than most). Best kneadable eraser: LYRA Best Erasers: Faber Castell 187120 (the rest from that brand, are not that good). Tombow Mono Plastic (2 best erasers on the market,choose any of these 2). Tombow Mono Zero 2.3mm is essential PS: Those are the best drawing and sketching supplies you can get. (best in terms,reliability of quality and performance). Feel free to ask for erasers, sharpeners or anything else@@BONSAII_DRAWS

Just cut the tip off with a razor then use a pencil to push the end out and you have a brand new stump :D

Its not that convinient, not gonna lie it did help with some details, but it ruins the paper, i use it as an eraser now than actually pressing on it with the motor, i'd prefer a steady eraser

[@tomastorasen9164]

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.

I don't use the very fine mechanical pencils but do use clutch pencils. Sometimes, depending on the piece, I prefer a blunt pencil, particularly when dealing with soft fur. Mechanical ones are a little to 'sharp' for my liking. I do use darker pencils and blending stumps... couldn't do without them. In fact, i once did a commissioned drawing of a dog using blending stumps almost exclusively. I had NOT thought to use a black polychromos so that's great to know. My Tombow Mono eraser is INVALUABLE!! Love it. I se it SO much. Thanks so much!

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!!!
