Actually if this was a Derwent Commercial I would have been paid for it and I wasn't. These are the materials that I use in my professional gallery-selling artworks and absolutely love. I have done my research and experimented with many brands and this is the brand I prefer to use. There are many other brands that I am sure will do a similar job but this is what I use. My students are always asking for specific brands and recommendations from me, hence the reason for the introduction to the materials I use. Cheers!
@ at about 11:55 yes it is a bit far away, but if you do the pencil prep and have a look you will see it yourself...the tip shaved on an angle creates an ellipse shape because the graphite inside is a round cylinder shape. My book 6 pencil techniques on Amazon might help you with the three different ways to create a shaded area; soft edges, hard edges and gradations...if you're interested. drawpj.com/6-pencil-techniques/
Was a delight to watch! thanks!
Thanks
Thank you so much. Do you prefer blending stumps or brushes when drawing hypereallistically
both are valuable and useful. I also use cotton buds (q-tips)
8 minutes of Derwent commercial...actual info starts about 8:40
Shannon Landis ...commercial or not, it’s good to know where the information starts.
The information begins at the beginning. Its important to know about your equipment and to get advice on what equipment to use.

Good tips thank you.
Suggest you split this video into : My drawing Equipment and Shading technique . Shorter videos get more engagement. I love your srudio set up :)
I agree. I created these videos quite a few years ago Lol!
EVERYthing is 'lovely'.
Grazie Sorella
Difficult to see how the tip actually looks like.
see the video at 7:55 basically do your best to sharpen your pencil so that you have as much graphite revealed as possible.
