    The hairspray one really depends on which type/brand of hairspray you use, wait until the spray is completely dry and make sure you sprayed every part. ALSO DO NOT USE THIS METHOD IF YOU COLORED WITH WATER/INK/ALCOHOL BASED MARKERS, it will smudge and soak through the paper since hairspray often contains water and/or alcohol. I've been using this method for years and it works great. Hope this helps :)

    • @orchdork775
      @orchdork775 Pƙed 3 lety +87

      Yea, the point is to create an image inspired either from real life, or from your imagination, so it shouldn't matter what techniques are used to get to that end result. All that matters is the finished piece, and whether or not you are happy with how it looks.
      That being said, I do think that it's good to make sure students aren't reliant on blending stumps, because doing most of the blending with pencils gives you more control.
      Did he say that blending with your finger is cheating, too, or was it just blending stumps? If he was okay with finger blending, then that just doesn't make sense, because your finger gets oil and dirt all over your paper, so a blending stump would be far superior.

      and no he didn't want us blending with our fingers either. Like you said, he did probably just want us to learn to blend with the pencil, and not rely on smudging.
      He was actually a really great teacher, I had him for 4 years and he was really invested in his classes. He ran the special art program at my high school so we all took 2 art credits a year and sometimes both were with him.
      He also recommended that we all paint exclusively with red, yellow, blue, and white paint, which was a bit extreme, but also a great exercise for becoming really good at colour mixing (and for saving money on paint lol). for some reason though it stuck with me the way he said blending stumps were cheating so I just never used them and didn't really think about why (I also didn't buy pre mixed paint colours for at least my first two years of university lol)

    "What's a blending stump?" I was shocked that Jazza wasn't familiar with blending stumps/tortillons. (Apparently my phone isn't familiar with tortillons either. "I'm not talking about tortillas, phone!"🙄) They're such common tools, it was genuinely surprising to me that he hadn't used them before! Your never to old to discover something new (that's been around for ages)!😉

  • @jessicashippeehealcalm9943

    That 1st one works! I've done that with tracing paper since I was a kid! Trace it, flip it, heavy pencil lines. Turn back over, place on paper, retrace! Viola! The sketched version, that you can redraw, color, add flair to, etc! Using tracing paper, makes it even easier to see the original, rather than just scribbling a bunch on the back. You can actually just go over the "real" drawing", so no guessing if you got all the edges.

    when it comes to the hairspray to prevent smudges it does work. you have to get the cheapest hair spray you can. high end sprays are mostly water and won't work. Hair Net spray is probably the best you can get for it. but then again you can use matte spray finishers like Jazza did, but they're a lot more expensive.

    In case of the hair spray hack, as far as I remember from my life drawing classes (loooong long long time ago) it depended on the brand, quality and/or composition of the hair spray and it required a little bit of trial and error to find one that would work (depending on what brands you could locally get). Usually the cheaper/crappier they were, the better they worked as sealants.

    A lot of these tips I've taught my students. like the color pencil in the water you don't even have to soak it you can just dip it to blend and it's really cool. The blending sounds also can be called tortillions. I like to tell my students that I've made plenty of mistakes to teach you guys not to make so that you can find the new ones and figure out how to solve them. Another real good tip is to take photos of your artwork and flip them around in the edit mode and you can see plenty of mistakes that you need to correct with your anatomy.

    I love using a blending stump/stick! Would recommend for smooth blends when using media such as pencils, charcoal, coloring pencils, or similar. They work a bit differently with colored media so you’ll have to play around with it a bit to get used to the different blends, but it really helps to take traditional drawings to the next level. I’ve used the blending stick for 12 years now and would never leave it out of my media collection.

    With the first hack, if you use a softer pencil like a 2 or 4 B you can press very lightly and you won't end up with the indent on the paper from the outline. I used to use a graphite stick so it rubbed on a lot faster, then lightly smudged the whole thing with so it wasn't as powdery and less messy on the artwork. Plus it works with white chalk on black paper too.
