  • Hi Guys.
    What is the best tool for blending when drawing with graphite pencil??!?! Watch this BIG TEST of the 6 most used blending tools! What blending tool gets the most stars and which one will FAIL this test! Well - it's all fun and games, but choosing the right blending tool can actually improve your drawings and shading technique.
    In this video you will basically find out what the best blending tool for drawing with graphite pencil is! We have 6 "Best Blending Tool"-contentants (drumroll):
    - A finger
    - Cotton Swap (also known as a q tip)
    - A blending stump (homemade and bought)
    - A soft piece of cloth
    - A soft tissue
    - A makeup brush
    Make your own blending tool - link:
    • How to Make your own B...
    Which one is your favourite? I will tell you mine in the video after testing all of these fine blending tools! I will also show you in short how to blend graphite pencil with these blending tools. Personally I have used a cotton swab, a qtip, a soft tissue, a makeup brush and my finger before this video, but I must say blending with a piece of cloth positively surprised me!
    Love from,
    Nina Blangstrup

    Nice video, I think for control of blending the blending stumps work the best for me. Second, I think the tissue paper works well too as you can put it around your fingers and have good pressure control. I like buying the packet of blending stumps at the art supply store with various sizes. Thanks for posting and sharing this video, I look forward to the next one.

    • @TZY_1
      @TZY_1 Před 2 lety

      I searched it up on Google, and It says that charcoal will give you a blacker, more dusty and crumbly experience but with a good black finish while graphite will be more metallic and reflective, and its always going to be gray. (Also from my experience.)
