I love this idea or technique! I actually never ever thought about using brushes, especially makeup brushes for shading! Thank you. I really love all your work. Your very talented!!

Thank you 😊💕

[@kathleenwall4722]

Stunning talent you have. Thank you.

[@Uradamus]

I hadn't really thought of trying this before. Back when I was still using charcoal a lot, I really liked using chamois clothes as a general purpose blender/eraser. I like that tactile experience of working mainly with my fingers, but this would likely offer a fair bit more control for those who are experienced with brush work.

Brushes rule!

[@brianbell5472]

1. There's a thing called a blending pencil. 2. Use soft tissue paper to do the same thing.

[@ct5625]

When I was in college I started using a makeup brush for blending, and a larger one to pick up and remove any rogue particles likely to cause a streak if smudged. I was surprised that even my A-Level tutor at the time asked me what I was using them for lol. Another good tip is to use a piece of scrap paper to cover any area where your hand might rest. It not only lessens any accidental smudging, but also prevents the heat/moisture from your hand/arm discoloring or warping the paper.

[@Vivungisport]

The skin always contain some oil/fat which can ruin the paper.

[@MohanKumar-sc4jk]

@@Vivungisport yea, even if it doesn't get ruined after smudging , your art can get discoloured because of the fat in the later months/years

[@donszabo7558]

I've seen one artist pin the paper over the work and rotate it as he was working to have a place to rest the heel of the hand. I usually just use a clean sheet. Also you may try using paper that doesn't have much texture or teeth, so it won't pick anything up as you move it.

[@donszabo7558]

I've seen a tutorial where people use a clear sheet of plastic or something so they can maintain perspective as they continue to draw. I always wash my hands a few times during a session, not unusual these days anyway.

[@YenneY01]

It's those rogue particles I have a problem with. But now I know what to do. Thanks!!

Kirsty I have just recently found an enjoyment in drawing using mainly graphite and pastels. I recently discovered an old school leaving report from 1965 when I left school.the art teacher says that I showed little interest in the subject and I failed art. In fact wasn’t even allowed to take the exam. But now t the age of 67 and time on my hands I have tried again. Mainly due to my wife giving me a watercolour set. I am not proficient at watercolour pictures but the graphite pictures particularly of animals, have, according to my harshest critics, my family , appear to be exceptional. This is only thanks to talented artists like you inspiring me and the tips you give. Thank you for you for giving me inspiration and please don’t underestimate what you are doing on this site. Best regards.Mike

[@KirstyPartridgeArt]

Awww thank you mike for the kind comment. I am so glad that you are giving art another try and I am thrilled to hear that my videos are helping you on your journey! Keep up the amazing work 💕

[@sammi680]

Not reading this

[@chipblock2854]

I can relate to this. Doing any type of art in the past was with my camera. I am now 65 and started a lot of pencil drawings. I just started adding charcoal and as a side work some work using alcohol base pens. I don't know the correct way to shade or the proper way if adding highlights but I don't care. Its the creating process I love so much.

BLESS YOU FOR THIS KIRSTY. I don't really fancy gamsol for blending bc of what it does to paper, and using q-tips gets cumbersome quick fast and in a hurry. I appreciate this, you just taught me a new skill!

You know you can Just buy graphite & charcoal powder its really cheap and smoots and a lot les waistfull

[@kripanart]

Kirsty Partridge Art just tearing a piece of sketch book papeer and rolling it tight and making blending stump.😀😊😊

[@kavithajaikumar9635]

Eyeshadow Spong or pan pastel brush gives a very smooth blending... Give it a try 😊

[@mikeallevesque18]

Just using eyeshadow applicators. The cheaper, waxier ones for areas where it's more smudging than blending, and the soft two-sided ones for the light shading.

[@jackvisserphotography]

so simple. I'm a pyrography artist but I've recently started with charcoal too. Did quite well for my first try but this technique is a game changer. I was using my finger to blend which I was having issues with due to skin moisture.

[@karmenfnassah4639]

If you can't get a tombow eraser like Kirsty then try a Faber Castell Eraser pencil. I think it's 7 dollars for 2 of them though when I bought them from michaels

[@AHSears]

Excellent tip. I don't use brushes. Call me old-school, but I prefer old comic-style line-blending. To make it look more blended I usually go very sharp on the pencil and use very light strokes very close together. Wherever I go darker, I cross at different angles. I typically only blend softer where the shadows would mask any detail [edit: with my fingertips].

[@unknown-vq1gj]

Wow 0 dislikes

[@KirstyPartridgeArt]

That’s always a good sign 😊💕

[@ThePinkBinks]

Ladies/Gents: I highly recommend a good quality Concealer and a thick Eyeshadow Blender brush. (Makeup brushes.) They're very similar. They're for blending powder and work wonderfully. Sometimes cheap, sometimes not. A small Keyboard Vacuum Cleaner picks up powder without being blown across the paper and leaving powder streaks.

[@birjeeshussain6106]

Kirsty I tried your technique with charcoal and brush but it didn't blend at all. Not a bit. Please can you tell me why this might be the case?

Hey kristy ur drawing is real. But me yah just messy but cartoons yahh

[@meiqinlin9741]

Another good idea is to use cotton buds. they work just as well, but the only problem is that for bigger areas that need shading, it may take quite a while. However small areas are perfect using this tool.

[@sdovas]

You should point out that makeup brushes (especially used or inexpensive ones) are more likely to shed hairs onto the drawing and drive you crazy. Worse w/watercolor of course. My daughter had a revelation to try an old used makeup brush & disaster ensued. Cheap watercolor brushes are VERY common and save sanity, or be ready to toss an old makeup brush at 1st sign of shedding.

[@leeks5750]

I think they are fine for what she's using them for, I get how watercolours would be a nightmare but with graphite and charcoal you should be able to just blow the hairs off like the excess powder.

[@dinkarkumar8786]

[@janetchisholm7020]

I joined into a drawing group using pencils last Wednesday it was on zoom in the UK. It was a portrait which I had never done before and the blending was totally done using kitchen paper. My work was acceptable but following your advice about using brushes and the other hints you gave I am sure that I would have found it easier. I will most certainly be giving this a try. Many Thanks.

[@almightyshippo1197]

Good to see that other artists do this for shading. I often use pencil then smudge with my fingers when sketching, but for things I want as a fully finished drawing I do similar things for the shading. I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a man who buys makeup brushes, lol.

[@handendaer]

Wow, that almost look fake xD Amazing!!
