I must say you are doing a really good job with your channel. I've used the Mars Lumograph pencils, but I couldn't get them to be smoth with blending. I like that they are so dark, but because of the visuall texture they leave I stopped using them.
Thankyou 😊 Yeah it is a bit grainier, but it also depends on the surface you're using as well (and also how sharp your pencil is) Personally, I don't mind too much because I judge what my work looks like from a meter or two away and I dont notice that texture I tend to prioritise contrast/values over the graininess 😊 But I'm sure it would definitely annoy some people that like to have a smoother result 😊
@@KirstyRebeccaFineArt Yeah, I'm a bit of a nutcase when it comes to smoothness :O) I need my stuff to be superealistic from 5cm away..... You will always annoy someone, no matter what you do - so don't bother :O)
Haha exactly! It took me too long to realise that! I used to spend way too long on artwork and got bored with the fine details until I realised it didn't have to be that way! 😊

Wow thank you for your reply 🥰 I will definitely buy it 😊
What is the sheet you're using to guard the paper from your hand? 👀
It's glassine or tracing paper (you could use any paper though, I just like the glassine because it's see-through) 😊
I need to find some of this! 😶 Thank you so much for answering & for an amazing video!
Can we use the same technique with charcoal?
Yes, I do it quite often with charcoal 😊
@@KirstyRebeccaFineArt thanks.. a question : charcol when sharpned leaves dust. Any tips on how not to? I use derwent charcol pencils.
me: has all the supplies needed. Uses paint brush, my opinion: i NEED A BETTER BRUSH!
Haha as long as it's soft, it will work 😊
