    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
      @Vivungisport 4 роки тому +4

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

    • @MohanKumar-sc4jk
      @MohanKumar-sc4jk 4 роки тому +1

      @@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
      @donszabo7558 3 роки тому +2

      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
      @donszabo7558 3 роки тому +3

      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.

    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

      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.

      @mikeallevesque18 5 років тому

      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.

    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.

  • @jackvisserphotography
    @jackvisserphotography 5 років тому +1

    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.

    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.

    I don't want to turn out melodramatic, but... I cried when I tried drawing again after your tutorials. I knew I had skill, but my technique was non-existent. I loved to draw and have always been amazed by drawings, but after trying to do something on my own, I just gave up after unsuccessfully trying to follow various tutorials which just didn't give me the insight I needed. I kind of stumbled upon your channel, but after watching your videos I took out my set and tried again. It is as if something clicked in my mind and I finally understood what to do, how to do it properly and how to fix it if I mess up. You have a very calm and straightforward way of explaining (I'd even say teaching) and it has done wonders for me. Thank you for reviving my dream of becoming an artist myself! I wish you all the luck in the world in your own artistic adventure!

    @AHSears 4 роки тому +2

    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].

    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.
