[@hmusicvisions6554]

I bet the first ever graphite pencil used by Pakistani kids probably from 90s to 2000-08 were the Goldfish pencils. I feel so nostalgic and happy seeing you using it. Nowadays there are many new pencil companies but for me Goldfish pencils and colors were best

[@thesupercar9309]

You can also use a mortar and pestle to crush the graphite into a fine powder.

[@biyockemmanuel7531]

Hey Ali - I also used a pestle & mortar to grind up the smaller pieces of graphite after I couldn’t hold them on the sandpaper. I probably will get a dedicated one as I’m not sure my kitchen one is very happy right now!! 🙀🙀 Worked like a charm though!

[@denasewell]

Hello Ali!I am learning so much from your tutorials !Art school is great for getting a foundation but what artists learn from other artists is so much more valuable!!This was yet another great tip! I have so many old pencils and I got to thinking and I tried this with some of my old water color pencils that were broken or to short and I put it in little make up containers it made really amazing water color powder!Thanks for the tip and inspiration!

Could you please make a video on how to draw highlights on face? Highlights as in the effect of a highlighter on a girl's cheek. If you don't know what a highlighter is, it's a part of makeup that puts on shine when you apply it anywhere on your face. Thank you.

[@violinoscar]

I use a mechanical clutch pencil, the type with the sharpener on the back end. Every time I sharpen my lead I tap the sharpener into a bowl. Since I use powdered graphite only occasionally this method gives me enough for my needs.

[@ArtByAliHaider]

That's Great! Thanks for sharing your technique with us 😊

[@greekveteran2715]

80 and 100 grit will make way too thick powder. I use 300 to 400 grit, creates the dust you pay 20$ to buy. Also use cheap pencils that don't have glue on the graphite,like quality expensive pencils do.

I want to appreciate that you are teaching your techniques for free. 😊 such a great gesture. And great video as well.

[@audiovisualbooks3231]

Nice video. Thanks you for solving my problem to search for graphite powder here in Pakistan.

[@xras66]

Don't use sandpaper it's leave micro stones.

[@StuartwasDrinkell]

Metal/cast iron pestle and mortar mate... way better no spraying every particle collected. Cost you about 20 dollars but it's a once in a life time time buy, i also use it on my worn down water colour pencil crayons. And you can grind spices bonus! You might also.consider making charcoal. Easy peasy, You can make a kiln with s metal paint can then some sticks and an.open flame fire. Pierce holes in can lid put in your sticks place it in the flames for an hour or so. Steam will pour out the holes but thats good it means theres no oxygen getting to your sticks therefore not incinerating the wood. Sounds like a faff i know but once youve done it once its simple. The you can simply pulverise your charcoal. Chacoal powder is way better than graphite too as it is less shiney on your page anc the black values are higher.

[@SnakeEater871]

I just use the graphite powder that gathers inside my lead pointer. Store it in a jar. You'd be surprised how much lead you shave off when you sharpen your lead. Why waste it?

[@mjawad6072]

If you hammer the pencil tenderly it automatically halves...if you dont want to use a knife

[@BrambleReid]

What kind of containers did you use for your powder. I like the containers and the box it came in.

[@DanielleMoore_artist]

One can also buy just the lead refills for mechanical pencils to sand or crush into powder. Nothing expensive just cheep ol' 0.5 mm lead refills

[@lizziedae91]

Great video! Following along with your drawing tutorials from the U.S. Another method that would give the results you tried with a hammer is to use a mortar & pestle (used in cooking & science) or any solid surface & a heavy smooth stone.

[@Drsobiakhan1226]

im new one here......plz plz ye btayen k intrnational brand ki drawing material like copic marker prisma color or cansn xl sketch book pakistan m kesay purchase karen

[@trublgrl]

I sharpen my woodcase graphite pencils just as Ali does, and keep a little rectangular snap-top container on my art table. Every time I sharpen, I save the excess graphite. It's a mix of all different hardnesses, but it seems to work. As Ali does, I usually only use it for large areas, not where detail is important, so it's worth taking a moment each sharpening, vs doing a ton of pencils at once, unless you really need a large quantity at one time.

[@kadeenchristie]

I've been making my graphite powder since 2015. I started using graphite powder because my cousin gave me some for my art exams because he draws too. I accidentally spillt majority of it and i teied making some with with the hammer method and i didn't like it because it wasn't fine enough so I thought why not use extra fine Sand paper and I didn't ask my cousin for anymore graphite powder since then.

[@nbdrawings2614]

Iam a malayali but i like your channel 🙂

[@philochristos]

For some reason, every time I use a tissue to blend or spread graphite, I get these little splotches that won't go away. They're just big finger-sized dots that appear out of nowhere. It's maddening. I don't know why it's doing it.

[@ArtByAliHaider]

Dont touch your paper with oily hands before shading.

[@GMoaz]

i think you can buy a wood-less cheap pencil and grand it in your kitchen grinder, that will be easy and time saving :P

[@itzme.7389]

Hey I have a doubt Can we use for face,skin,etc..???? In the graphite drawing

[@samsonmariblanca3427]

[@salmaom2181]

Fantastic tutorial and just to say there’s nothing backward about Pakistan as it has fine artist and tutors like you. Interestingly enough I’ve struggled to get graphite powder of different ranges here in the uk even on uk amazon. Rather I’m having to travel to art shops far from where I live. The grass grows but isn’t always green. Thank you again for imparting your wisdom

[@conicalsatyr5603]

What if you used the leads from a mechanical pencil? They're already bare. Very helpful video by the way👏

[@brettkepler7375]

Along the lines of the hammer method. A mortar and pestle would work really well and make a fine powder than the hammer as well as keep it contained.

[@camgreer]

I had the same thought. A small, nonporous mortar and pestle could probably do it more efficiently timewise, just using a pile of broken lead refills.

I use eye makeup brushes for my drawings, they're perfect 👌 and find A4 size paper at 120gsm to be the best for me.
