First pro who doesn't use Prismacolor for every line drawn

[@badfish1111]

What are you talking about? He's using graphite and charcoal. Prismacolor has neither.

badfish1111 I meant: many "professional" artist in youtube and outside (that I know) have a kind of pathological preference for that brand, almost like if it was a kind of apple... for artists... By the way I have to remark that Stan P. could draw anything with anything and it would look amazing... PD: sorry for the grammatical mistakes, Im not English speaker

[@badfish1111]

Israel Pazmiño Grammar? I think there's a misunderstanding. I was saying that Prismacolor doesn't even make graphite or charcoal products. It would be impossible for him to be using anything Prismacolor with the kind of work he's doing. That's all.

[@badfish1111]

Israel Pazmiño By the way. Do you use Prismacolors? At least the colored pencils? Which is the thing artists seem to have a "pathological" preference for. Or do you just like commenting on things you have no experience with? There really isn't anything pathological about it. Artists genrally like the good shit. I would imagine of you had tried them you would certainly know why so many artists prefer them. It's really not too hard to understand.

[@bidhrohi12]

badfish1111 Prismacolor does make graphite pencils. Don't know about charcoal. Staedtler is way, way better in graphite though. Prismacolor's colored pencils are affordable and good quality, which is why they're preferred.

[@laryssalbv]

Since I study architecture, I use these staedtler materials a lot on technical drawings, funny I never thought of using them artistically. I'm not sure you are aware of it, but the sharpener has these two holes so you can adjust the height of the lead when sharpening to get different angles. Nice video btw!

[@ilinaeternity]

[@samdavepollard]

Thanks, Proko. Nice vid. To anyone getting the Staedtler ‘lead pointer’ - remember there’s a hole in the lid to help you get the lead just the right length before sharpening. You need the lead to be just long enough to touch the bottom of the hole (so to speak). Longer than that and it’s way more likely you’ll snap the lead. Shorter than that and the lead won’t reach the edge of the sharpener. And not to be a dick, but strictly speaking this is not a mechanical pencil, it’s a lead holder. Mechanical pencils are the ones that take the 0.5, or 0.7mm leads. So if you’re asking someone to get you one of these (as a present maybe) don’t ask for a mechanical pencil. You’ll get the wrong thing. And yeah, here in the UK, they’re rubbers. Boy, that takes me back. I remember in school, aged about eight or nine, you might ask someone if they had a rubber you could borrow. Then about the age of 12 or whatever, aware of the other meaning of that word, it would be, ‘er, do you have an eraser I could borrow?’ even though ‘eraser’ sounded ridiculously formal. But of course, there was always one kid who didn’t get it until much later than all the others, still asking someone if they could lend them a rubber, aged like 15. Happy days.

[@slurp3194]

lol i spent 40 dollars in a leadholder that takes 5.4 - 5.6 mm lead its only useful for sketching i ran out of lead for my pencil so i tried to use the lead holder for a final piece it took soo much erasing and sharpnigning it was a nightmare

[@JTMC93]

Hate to break it to you but Lead Holders are the original design for a Pencil. When wood pencils came about the Lead Holders were termed mechanical pencils and quickly fell out of use in all but the most edge cases, most during that time were more ornamental than anything else, and the term then was used for the more modern designs alongside Lead Holders. The term Lead Holder is a modern term to differentiate between the incremental advancement clutch used more commonly in smaller mechanical pencils and the older style drop clutch used more commonly in larger mechanical pencils. In fact a 0.5mm Pencil is still termed a Lead Holder if it uses a drop clutch.

[@BeyondDreamTime]

@JTMC93 -- Why did you 'hate' telling the other person that bit of completely optional and relatively irrelevant information? Was it because of the tone and attitude, the pedantic know-it-all, palpable but unnecessary antagonism towards a comment posted 3-4 years before yours? (What? My reply is crispy-fresh compared to that. :p) Pollard was (and still is) essentially correct though, as far as general use and terminology needed by someone new to art supplies (in other words, people to whom this video is addressed) are concerned. Of course, things could be added, such as: 0.2, 0.3, 0.9, 1.1 mm leads and some others also exist in addition to 0.5 and 0.7 mm,. And that those 2.0 mm leads presented in this video can also be used in actual _mechanical pencils_ (with controlled and automatic incremental lead-advance clutch system commonly used in the 0.2 to 1.1 mm mechanical pencil range and beyond), which, albeit less common, do exist. In contrast, your etymology lecture using archaic terminology is not only arguably irrelevant, unless the subject is 'History of the Pencil,' or metal-point pencils, but mixing terminology across ages and aeons might confuse many people to whom this instructional video is addressed, i.e., people new to art supplies. Anyway, art supplies can be fun, as is experimenting with them, so we could leave it at that -- but someone new to them might want and need *basic and precise information* about *basic* supplies they might care to buy and use to begin with, and for them, Pollard's original comment is actually good and useful in more than one way . The original commenter, Pollard, even mentioned an actually very useful detail, the lead-length calibration hole used prior to sharpening the lead in the lead pointer in order to minimise the chances of breaking the lead (something the uploader, Proko, ignored, didn't mention, in favour of doing a silly dance, cringy jokes, and suggestive antics) -- which is a useful bit of information needed not only by newbies, but apparently by the self-appointed expert, instructor, and uploader himself, Proko. :)

[@THENEW6]

Dude. I have a 2.0 mm mechanical pencil that I NEVER knew the proper use of. I just realized I had a powerful drawing tool lying around in a random shelf for YEARS without realizing it. Thank you for that.

Thank you for always going into detail, a lot of youtubers just say "get graphite. This video helped me a lot, thank you!!

[@NKingTotoro]

The cool thing about those lead holders is that they have sharpeners on the bottom cap thing. So even if you forget to take your sharpener with you, you can still keep a relatively sharp point. Lead holders are the best.

[@Upscent]

I replayed the moment with the rubbers till I fell off the chair :D You are insanely cute! And I do follow most of your instructions. You really have taught me a lot, Mr. Proko :)

[@RonSwansonIsMyGod]

Yeah, those Staedtlers are game changers. I'll never use any other kind of graphite pencil again. And for charcoal, those Conte 1710s are beyond smooth. Truly a pleasure to use.

[@GlennGuillorySFO]

You are a very entertaining and clear communicator. I think your humor, yes it is humor, is matched only by your dancing ability! Seriously, I learned watching and will subscribe. I find that I learn from the younger teachers better for some reason, as at 73, well, I just think young artists are more tuned into the frustration of some of the work. I love drawing and painting, and look forward to seeing more of your work. Your clear, concise, and straightforward manner is very refreshing.

[@WilliamParmley]

Thanks! I'm very much looking forward to working through this video series. My 2mm lead holder has been lost for ages, so a couple of days ago I went out and bought a Staedtler Mars 780, a lead pointer, and an eraser. Glad to see that is what you recommend! All the store had was 2H lead, so I have some 2B and 4B and more erasers on the way from Amazon. Again, looks like I made a good choice (although I guess I will need some HB also).

[@sonja_rademacher]

To pronounce "Staedtler" start with a "sh" like in "shut". Then try to say "steady" but beginning with the "sh". Then just say "stead" beginning with the "sh". Add the " ler" and you're good to go.

For the mars technico pencil, the two holes beside the foam are for getting the precise amount of lead length so you dont waste any rather than pulling it out a few centimeters

[@enolacandelaria6506]

Oh... btw. On the mechanical Staedtler or whatever pencil. The end of the pencil has a hole. And I'm not sure if this is what its for... But I just pull out the lead and stuck it in the hole, and twisted. And boom, it came out sharpened... So... Works.

[@panam4redd]

I used the Staedtler drafting pencil for a while, until I switched to the Pentel GraphGear 600. I noticed that the huge leads were too thick for my field (manga inspired graphic novels). I found that using just 0.7 blue leads is perfect for me. Now I'm interested in the Rotring 800!

[@AluVixapede]

I live relatively close to a university that has a lot of art classes; thusly their book store, also has a lot of fine art supplies. (They have extremely good prices too, even compared to the internet ~ I'm not a student either so, it's actually my go-to place for consumables) I like lead holders as well! Though, I actually like the "Kum Long Point Pencil Sharpener with Pointer" ~ It's a pretty good all-rounder. handles both wood case pencils, but also has 2 different sized lead pointers. Uni makes a neat one too :3

Just a little note on the sharpener. There are 2 holes you can use as a guide to the length you pull out for sharpening. If you want a duller tip it will make it shorter. Just saying cause I didn't know that for the first couple of years LOL.

[@KevinMccainArtist]

For your charcoal drawings have you tried Rives BFK it has less sizing than watercolor paper, it is similar in weight to 140 lb watercolor paper, and has a little bit of a "soft give" to you pencils yet can hold great detail. It may have more texture than the arches silk screen paper though.

[@ProkoTV]

I haven't tried it, but judging by the pictures it looks like it has more texture. I'll try it though.

[@ProkoTV]

Thank you for the recommendation.

[@silvanocece1365]

Thanks very useful for me as I have only just started drawing in the last month

[@sarahhall5282]

For sharpening wood pencils, I've found the best sharpener is the Kum Long Point Automatic Brake sharpener. It's like the Staedtler lead pointer in that it stops when it's done sharpening (so you don't waste more of your pencil than you need). It's got one blade for sharpening the wood and one for the lead. It's cheap, and sharp, comes with two spare blades, and replacement blades are available and cheap. It fits in a pencil case easily, and you don't need to use it over a garbage can. And the point you get is really long.

[@Joe_Maysky]

Thanks for this Stan! I'm thinking of investing in the graphite/charcoal powder now as I've also seen it used in mixed media work with color which i also enjoy doing in addition to what you teach monochromatically.

[@homefreylf]

This was very helpful (and humorous). Now I really want to go buy art supplies!

[@David7500]

Charcoal powder is almost impossible to find where I live. Not even Jerry's Artarama or Hobby Lobby carry it. I use blending stumps all the time, using sand paper to sharpen them. Another blending tool, is a soft cotton clothe (some thing you would use in car detail).

[@ChadSmith1452]

There's an easy solution: rub some charcoal on sandpaper and collect the dust in a small container. Just be aware that dust made from compressed charcoal will be much less erasable than dust made from vine charcoal. Still, I'd recommend buying a jar online. It lasts longer than seems physically possible I have jar of General's charcoal powder that's still 80% full after four years of pretty frequent use.

I actually find newsprint to be a superior surface for conte pencil. My only qualm -but it's a bog one- is that's it's so damn fragile. It doesn't just deteriorate over time, it's all too easy to damage immediately. Since newsprint pads are tapebound, you have to be very, very careful if you want to use them like a sketchbook, or you'll crinkle the pages just by flipping them.

[@snakedaemonart676]

Steadtler do another type of pencil which are great for the darker tone which also don't have that shine, you have to check them out

[@obebradford]

[@RenzoCaballini]

I recommend Staedtler 7B and 8B if you don't want that graphite pencil shine when you go dark. They mix charcoal with the graphite and you get good black color thats comparable to charcoal pencil. BTW, whens the shading video coming out? I is a premium member and have been waiting for what feels like forever son!

[@ProkoTV]

ya, 7b and 8b doesn't have the shine, but they're very soft so you can't get detailed with them in the light halftones. If you use hb-6b (shiny) combined with 7b-8b (matte) it looks weird.

[@ProkoTV]

Shading video is next week. I know, sorry for the wait!

Proko excellent discussion. I actually switched from Mars 7b to 6b recently as I found out it was really hard to erase then yesterday added some 7b to get some real dark backgrounnd and yes, it looks strange when next to the shiny 6b ;-) Who would have guessed Mars Staed graphite pencils were not all graphite

I love the Steadtler mechanical pencil. I notice you don’t mention that is has a device on the silver top for sharpening your point - perhaps that is because it is near impossible to get the graphite dust out and it may deposit itself all over your lovely drawing or on your work surface - it’s amazing how much damage a few grains of graphite dust can do.

[@followyourtelos]

If you want darker blacks with graphite there's options for specific pencils on amazon.
