Pastel Pencils VS. Colored Pencils: Understanding the Differences

Pastel Pencils VS. Colored Pencils: Understanding the Differences
I use the large eraser for large areas, and my Tombow for small areas. I might have missed it in the video, but did you mention that you can slice the tip of the eraser at an angle to get really fine lines? I do that with mine. I have an X-acto knife and a little wooden block to lay the eraser tip on when I slice it. Of course, this has to be repeated as the tip wears down, so I use up refills a little faster this way. But materials for graphite drawing are so much less expensive than other mediums, such as oil painting on canvas, so I really don't mind. This is an excellent video--thanks so much!
No, I forgot to mention that even though I do it as well. I am glad to hear you enjoyed watching my video!
Awesome tool,thanks for sharing! I have been using large nail files and sand paper for many years to keep my points sharp.
Thank you for sharing your experience and tips with us!
🤗
I learnt a lot from your video, Dragos!
Glad it helped you!
Very useful video!!

Thank you!
Very inspiring thank you
🤗
Very helpful, thank you. And I love your artwork!
I am glad it helped you!
Thank you, very informative for a new pastel painter.
I am glad it helped!
What pencils are you using in this drawing? Colored or pastel? And what brand(s)?
I use pastel pencils from Stabilo Carbothello and Faber Castell Pit.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. As an artist branching into pastels from b&w pencil, your explanations of the techniques in using pastels have been a tremendous help. Please continue to make these videos!
I'm so happy to hear it helps you!
I am taking an illustration class the instructor does not suggest using blending tools at all.
I guess it's a preference.
Thanks for recommending this product! I'm ordering one today! For a handheld sharpener, I would highly recommend the Kum 2-hole sharpener, available on Amazon. It sharpens to a longer point, then the other side trims the graphite to a very sharp point.
@@kathleenstoin671 I have it, it is a great sharpener!
I use a tissue like Kleenex over my finger for blending. I use a big fluffy makeup brush for eraser crumbs, or a small ostrich feather duster. I love my little Tombow eraser! I use an electric pencil sharpener, mostly because its so fast, and I am impatient! I always start with the eyes, too. Its nice to see them looking at me as i complete the rest of the drawing. I almist feel that we are friends by the time i finish the drawing. You can reduce the graphite shine by using a matte spray fixative. This is a very helpful video! Thank you!
Just loved the way you explained the details. Excellent video.🙏🙏
Thank you!
Thank you, understanding is key to maximising methodology in use.......Aust.
Excellent video. It breaks down fantastic core information for a beginner in one easy to understand video.
Thank you!
Hvala na veoma dobrom i korisnom videu!
Can you say it in English please?
Thanks for this video. I am actually a mangaka, i am good, and i hear it from everyone. But i am not satisfied with myself. This video helped me see that i was just being a perfectionist.
Glad to hear it helped!
Thank you so much for the video, you are an amazing artist, I'm truly honoured to be present in this era where artist like you exist... I do have one question if you mind answering does black pencil work ON the graphite shading?
Thank you so much for your nice words! Yes, it works perfectly, it adds a lot of depth to the graphite drawings.
Excellent in-depth analysis of both the Stabilio and Faber Castell pastel pencils. I’ve been using them both for several years and really appreciate your insight into all of the different attributes that go into pastel pencils, from their composition to light fastness to an often overlooked consideration of what types of surfaces they work best on. You’re obviously very knowledgeable and I like that you explained how each product can complement each other. I, too use the Carbothello’s for laying down larger areas and like to use the Pitt’s for detail work, as I do find them a bit harder and able to make finer marks with less effort. I would love to hear more about the pastels, especially regarding Pan Pastels working with these pencils and blending tones. Thanks again, I’m looking forward to seeing more of your videos!
Very happy to hear my videos was helpful!

Thank ready to try
Thank you for taking the time in providing this valuable comparison.
My pleasure!
you can achieve a dark black with 12B
My suggestion to all artists save your money on A2 or A3 size mixed media paper if you plan on making medium sized artworks it saves space and money 💵. For painting abroad a 15 by 15 inch square will also work if you plan on making artworks in multiple mediums in some foreign country.
Many thankyou❤❤❤
Very helpful!
Glad to hear that!
E fain sa mai gasesc alți din diaspora!
Well I have been through a great deal of videos. This was very helpful. I usually am a painter/ water color artist. Being color blind has been my wall as the wife will tell me what color next by picking them for me. I've decided to go to graphite sketching to which will help me be free of asking what color. I just ordered a full set of graphite pencils and can not wait to exercise your video. Thank you so much.
I am very happy you found my video helpful!
Excellent,thank you, I am trying to decide what I will buy
I am glad you enjoyed it!
Carbothelo on normal paper if you touch it the color will not stay on the paper
Thank you so much, your video is very helpful!:)
Very happy to hear that!
As well.
Great info.
Thank you!
Thank you sir
You are welcome!
Nice video! 😊

Your voice is soft and makes me feel like i just had a lobotomy
That's my voice, I can't change it. ☺
I don't know if I should take it as a compliment because my voice is relaxing or as an insult because you find it annoying. 😉
To sharpen try using a ‘Eyebrow Pencil Sharpener, 4 in 1 Eyebrow Pen Sharpener Eyebrow Pen Sharpening Tool’ I just got one on Amazon.
