you can use matte fixatives on finished graphite work. It completely removes the shine.

General's kimberly pencils and Staedtler pencils barely have any shine to them, while Derwent pencils have a ton of shine. I'd recommend getting Kimberlys or Staedtlers bacause they have more clay, and therefore less shine :)

Nice comparison. Thanks for sharing your experience. I've recently learned that when you use a sharp point to slowly and gently creep up on the value over several layers with pencil, you can get quite dark without shine. If you press hard and try to get the value in 1 or two passes and using an inappropriate hardness, yeah, it's going to shine like hell. In atelier type schools where they start off with bargue pencil drawings, you can spend 10 minutes on 1 cm2 just passing over it layering on the graphite to get the right value. It's time consuming, but it's also super controlled. Charcoal is great for getting those deeper darks quickly. But with H charcoal, you can be quite controlled in the lights as well, just use a really sharp point and ever so gently shade it. Also, if you switch between layers in a narrow X type angle( so one layer like this //////// and the next \\\\\\), it'll be much smoother than a + shape( one layer like this |||||| and the next ===)alternation. Hope this helps!

Even with the layering, I still find the graphite to be o shiny of my liking and not as deep, rich and dark as charcoal.

IF YOUR SKETCHING OR WANT YOUR DESING TO HAVE A SHINE GRAPHITE IS A GO, IF YOU WANT A MATTE LOOK FOR YOUR DESIGN GO FOR CHARCOAL, BOTH HAVE THEIR UP AND DOWN, 1 ITS HARDER TO FILL DARKER SPACE, AND THE OTHER APART FROM BEING MESSY ITS REALLY DARK AND HARDER TO ERASE. THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO I LEARN ALOT; BOTH GREAT.

My take. Electric erasers actually scorch or scar the paper and ruin the tooth of the paper. I can see the marks after using an electric eraser on the paper.

The newish Mars Lumi Black pencils supposedly completely eliminate the shine issues in darker grads of graphite, similarly to carbon pencils but with a better transition between the two. I'll be trying them out. I love charcoal generally but I really dislike it for hair...it's just not sharp enough. Someone else mentioned a Matt Clead Acrylic coat to take away the shine but I'm not convinced that would help with keeping the tonal values. I'd have to try it but I'm admittedly reluctant to potentially ruin a graphite piece...

Hi Kirsty, I'm a little confused about when to use if ever, the vine and willow charcoal vrs the compressed pencil charcoals. I'm used to using graphite. Can i get by just using the charcoal pencils in difference grades and using them for shading just as i have done with graphite? The thought of using uncompressed stick kind of scares me because of lack of control. Can you give some specifics of when the uncompressed sticks would come in handy?
@catcastle43775 жыл бұрын
I know this is so long ago, but I learned from another video (I forgot the title) compressed pencils is darker and harder to erase than willow/vine charcoal, I think. Use the willow vine when you start your drawing and when you lay down the light and dark parts. Then use the compressed pencil charcoals for details and for much darker and smaller parts. I love using vine charcoal more, it gives me more freedom :D

draftsmen do it with sharp knives/ razor blades for pencils and sand paper for charcoal sticks (little reason to use charcoal pens at all). I prefer sand paper even for graphite using technical pens with leads (graphite ffs!) of multiple hardness and diameter (have a look for Faber Castell for example [0.35, 0.5, 0.7, 2.0 and 3.5 mm and 5H to 6B {for reasons simple to imagine high B numbers only in wide diameters, but you can even sand paper down 0.35 further and make 3.5 as sharp as well}]). Charcoal, once you've learned how to use it (or if money is not a concern do it right away) try Nitram sticks.

I use both mediums. I would say learn with graphite, it's cleaner, easier to erase mistakes and when you are competent with graphite and understanding values it makes learning to use charcoal easier. Also i would say go from graphite to carbon pencils then onto charcoal. Carbon pencils are a good Inbetween, they have qualities of both graphite and charcoal.

What are you asking about? Both are (mainly) carbon as well as diamonds are (well, they tend to be pretty pure carbon...) for example. Carbon is just the chemical element C. charcoal and graphite are two of the common lattice structures both with the nice property to shear of layers in easy and predictable ways making them well suited for drawing. Carbon fibre for example much less so, diamonds... You are (with the exception of fluids [being a bag holding water mainly) mostly carbon as well. That is why your bones make ivory black when being heat treated... Nice stuff those C-atoms bonding to all kinds of stuff in all kinds of ways and so forth. I hate it when in English you are talking about carbon footprint instead of CO_2 equivalent footprint but please do not carry this into arts, too.
