    This drawing looks great. Even with the heavy textured paper. Great work! 👌👌

    Oh, what do you think of the "new and updated" title sequence=). I figure I add some 3D element to it.

      Hi Wei, what type of white charcoal pencil you are using in this demo? please advise.

    Thank you for sharing this. It was a good learning experience for me, as I'm just experimenting with grey toned paper.

  • @bkjackson8092

    I do see what you mean about the texture of the paper not being ideal for this drawing, but in another way, it's kind of cool because it reminds me of the old dot-matrix printer days. 8-) In any case, it's still a great drawing.

    Another great demo and excellent narration. I struggle with heavy textured paper and find the drawing get takes much longer. Thanks!

  • @David7500
    @David7500 Před 8 lety +9

    Hey Wei try the Strathmore 400 series, toned gray, it has a smooth surface. I never like those heavy weight paper. I would of never thought of using a graphite pencil. Just a charcoal and charcoal white pencil. Thanks!

    • @ArtofWeiHo
      @ArtofWeiHo  Před 8 lety

      +David K Hey David, yeah, I just bought that same series of paper, medium texture 400. It feels very smooth. I'll definitely use that next time. Also got a couple of white conte pencils. See what happens next time=).

  • @pegcage
    @pegcage Před 8 lety +1

    I like the Strathmore toned gray and toned tan paper. The texture is smooth.

    • @ArtofWeiHo
      @ArtofWeiHo  Před 8 lety

      Yeah, I should have used a smoother paper.

    • @ArtofWeiHo
      @ArtofWeiHo  Před 8 lety +1

      +iain30jam Thanks. It's different from my other ones because of the white charcoal. Hopefully I'll get better ones up in the future.

    I think you should have used all charcoal. I got a charcoal pad and its heavy textured just like that gray tone paper you are using. I also got a gray tone book but its a lot smoother than the paper you using. I remember when I read the book Drawing from the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards, it said to set down a ground using a Graphite stick and use the eraser for highlights. And that technique has worked just fine for me.

    • @ArtofWeiHo
      @ArtofWeiHo  Před 8 lety +1

      +Rain 008 I see. I think if I draw bigger, it would solve the detail problem. Thanks for the tip.

  • @bwpdsigns
    @bwpdsigns Před 8 lety +3

    Great drawing! Someone may have mentioned it already, but that paper would probably be better suited for charcoal pencil or vine charcoal. I've been working with a Nitram charcoal sticks lately and it's amazing. A very different experience from graphite though.

    • @ArtofWeiHo
      @ArtofWeiHo  Před 8 lety

      +Bryan Paulus Yeah, you're right. Charcoal is just so messy though. It's painful to remove charcoal from the table=).

    • @bkjackson8092
      @bkjackson8092 Před 5 lety

      Good to know. I literally just started drawing and I'll be curious to try charcoal and this grade of paper.

  • @reynoire9681

    So how do you blend then? If you can’t mix? And if the drawing I’m doing has so much white in the photo?

  • @jpwartist
    @jpwartist Před 7 lety

    The tooth of that paper is way too heavy for graphite. I'm glad i watched this before buying. What's the reverse side of the paper like? Some paper manufacturers of this type of paper make the reverse side smoother for detailed work.

    Can we draw grid on toned paper

  • @Artofwilliamrussell
    @Artofwilliamrussell Před 7 lety

    I'm using a white charcoal pencil for highlights on graphite and some reason the white charcoal pencils won't go over the graphite lead.. any ideas what's wrong?

    Do u prefer gray paper over white?

    • @ArtofWeiHo
      @ArtofWeiHo  Před 8 lety +1

      +Katherine Gonzalez Hi Katherine, I've use mostly white paper so this is my first "real" try at toned paper. I still like white surface but this has a lot of possibilities.

  • @rodmirandafineartist1566
    @rodmirandafineartist1566 Před 7 lety +1

    then use charcoal instead graphite

    • @ArtofWeiHo
      @ArtofWeiHo  Před 7 lety +1

      Yeah, probably.

    • @rodmirandafineartist1566
      @rodmirandafineartist1566 Před 7 lety

      Well, sorry for my lazy comment. I was in a hurry that day. What I was really trying to say is that I've seen how well generals charcoal 6b+generals white integrates to each other, to create perfect! gradations to a photorealistic level if that is intended. But considering you are trying to mix to "heterogeneous" components, the results that you showed on this video is amazing.

    • @rodmirandafineartist1566
      @rodmirandafineartist1566 Před 7 lety

      Keep going! Great job!

  • @cartoon80s90s
    @cartoon80s90s Před 8 lety +1

    This looks way too hard. Is there a point in choosing this heavy textured paper instead of one with a smoother surface?

    • @ArtofWeiHo
      @ArtofWeiHo  Před 8 lety +2

      +cartoon80s90s It is a little harder for beginners. I chose the heavy texture because I just happen to have them=). Knowing what I know now, I wouldn't use them for this. Or at least draw a lot bigger to compensate for the heavy texture. I've just bought some smoother grey toned paper so I'll be doing more drawings with them.

    • @tanglebeard
      @tanglebeard Před 8 lety

      +Art of Wei Sometimes I turn the paper over and use the back of the heavy texture paper, as that is smoother and has less dimples.
