Yay congratulations on 500 subbies! Now you are getting closer to 600 subbies 🙌🏻!! So excited and happy for you 💕! Lolz we love a pun 👏🏻🤣!! Oooo carbon pencils 😯. I don’t think I’ve used those types of pencils before. I’m very familiar with charcoal. It’s real messy and very powdery ✨. The eraser masks look so satisfying 🤩. Q-tips are a so fun to blend with!! Yay for Graphite 😍!! Interesting comparisons 🙌🏻! Girl you need to be an art teacher! You’re so well at explaining everything and know so much 🙌🏻✨💗!! 💖
thank you so much Kari!! You always leave sweet comments. Charcoal is definitely extremely powdery in comparison to graphite! It can be trickier to learn. I love blending with q-tips(I have a giant pack hahaha). thank you again💙
This is another great video Alexis! Well done for reaching 500 subscribers - well nearly 600 subscribers! That is amazing and I am so happy for you! I'm actually hoping to do a graphite vs charcoal video soon - so weird how we always think of similar videos! haha 😀
Amy Louise Art thank you Amy!💙 thats so sweet. UA-cam can be trickier sometimes the actual art itself!😂 Im excited to see what you come up with in your graphite vs charcoal video!! All of your comparison videos are really thorough and fun to watch!
Hi Alexis! Great comparison, love the range of drawings you showed at the end :) How do you store your carbon/charcoal drawings, including practice sketches? The stuff gets everywhere! I live in a small space so it's not really possible to frame things. Do you use a fixative?
Hi, thank you so much!! So what I’ve learned to do is just use tracing/wax paper to cover and store your drawings that have loose powder like carbon or charcoal. It’s easy and affordable to find a huge pad of wax paper, so I just do that until I decide I want to maybe spray a fixative. I’m usually too lazy to use fixative though unless I’m selling😂 haha
@@AlexisCassandraArt Makes sense! I looked online for advice and most people recommended glassine paper. But it's just too costly! Thanks for the tip 💕
WOW!!! That drawing of Hendrix is AWESOME!!! This has been very helpful because I personally like black&white drawings over color, it seen more dramatic! Is there a preference on paper ( charcoal, Bristol, sketch)? And, would you use a light gray color paper with these pencils? I'm so new to all of these different pencils, back in the day it was just a #2 pencil, LOL!!! Thanks for all your help, you ROCK!!! Stay safe my friend, Rock On & God Bless!!!
Thank you! Hendrix is one of my favorite drawings I’ve done! Black and white definitely has something special to it, I agree. I would say sketch paper is a bit thin and it’s better to use a thicker paper. Bristol works great for both graphite and charcoal, I haven’t had much luck with papers labeled “charcoal paper” before though. And toned grey paper also would look good with charcoal, especially if you have a white charcoal pencil to add bright highlights! That would be awesome. Thanks again for the kind words💙 I also did a vid on paper choices in case it’s of use to you - ua-cam.com/video/vz0YgdSPu8o/v-deo.html
Thanks for watching! The eraser is tombow mono zero (round). It’s a great detail eraser, and you can buy refills for it! Also comes in a square shape but I find round gets the finest detail.
I just hope everyone is safe in your place.. Anyway you have a very informative comparison in those pencils.. I've been using that kind of medium in my portraits before.. But I am more of using charcoals.
jayson casingal aw thank you💙 the smoke has cleared up thankfully😊 I’m glad this was useful. I definitely will need to do a video going more in depth with the charcoal as well
I tried both together with graphite; didn't work that much. so I stop using charcoal. I manage to buy 15B; it works well like the charcoal but it's actually Graphite 😊😊
Thank you😊 oh and the same thing happens to me with charcoal 😂 I recommend trying out the oil based charcoal! It’s less messy, and easier to control and still adds a nice dark value. I didn’t even know it existed until I picked up a few pencils open stock at an art shop!😂
Let me know if comparisons like these are helpful:)
This video is very interesting and should be watched by thousands of people from different levels.
Thank you for your efforts
Thank you so much! It means a lot and I'm glad these vids are helping people out:)

am waiting for more information.
thank you, I can definitely do more comparisons or go more in depth in the future if you'd like me to:)
Thank you for this video. What type of eraser is that?

@@AlexisCassandraArt wow that's awesome.. looking forward to see that.. stay safe
thanks! helpful; don't be so shy!
great to hear! I was still getting used to the camera at this point, but I've gotten more used to it now!
I tried both together with graphite; didn't work that much. so I stop using charcoal. I manage to buy 15B; it works well like the charcoal but it's actually Graphite 😊😊
Yes 15b!!! That’s perfect. There are so many options for B grades of graphite now :)
good job showing the differences between them 🙂 I love charcoal but it is sooo messy and always ends up all over my face somehow lol 😛

will have to look that up, haven't heard of it before either 🙂
fuzzydragons the one I have is cretacolor Nero:)
thanks for letting me know 😀
Charcoal aawwww it always ruins my work. 😑
Arts With Sarosh next week I’m coming out with a vid exclusively about using graphite😊
I hope someone give me B7 B8
Wishlists!!
