wow!Thats like an arsenal haha. i dont use mechanical pencils a lot. just for the outlining in the beginning or at the grid drawing part. and my tortillion kinda sux cuz I made it by myself with normal A4 paper cut in half, but its still usefull. my question when i scan stuff on my computer the paper turns pink. so what do I do to fix it?

I have most of those supplies myself. The one question I have for you is do you just use the sides as well as the tips of your tortillions and blending sticks until they are all black or is there a technique like filing the black tips off so you can renew them? I'm new to them and I don't know what to do when they get too black. Honestly. Other than that, thank you for drawing. It's truly an inspiration.

Awesome. This is interesting, seeing as the only thing I use for my crappy drawings is regular pens and pencils.
Thanks for putting this together.

Excellent job on this Nicolien - I must confes however that I often stoop to using my finger *ducks from the blending stumps you throw at me* but I do... old habits die hard.

I already knew all that but I wanted to say thanks anyway, that was a nicely layed out, and uncomplicated tutorial of the basics.

Very helpful! I'm proud to say I do in fact have most of that as well. Extremely helpful for the things I didn't even think I would need though. Inspires me to actually work on something.

OH OH OH you were right, blending with fingers bad! I bought a paper-pen and tried it out today, it works WONDERS, thanks for the hint
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Wow I'll stop using my fingers now *runs away crying with shame* hey I that I know what a kneeding eraser is........what's a gum eraser do? It just crumbles and is easy to fall apart if you really want it to. You look at it wrong and a piece falls off!!

Lol! I should have you yell at my life drawing teacher. He always used his finger.
I was never able to use my finger because my hands are oily and whenever I did, it would set the graphite to the paper and make it impossible to erase. I always hated drawing in pencil because of it, until I realized I could just wear gloves.

using fingers be against the law? maybe ur not using ur fingers right

Hey I have a question. I have such a hard time finding other shades for mechanical pencils. All I ever find is the HB. I don't know if you're from the US, but do you have any idea what store I could go to online or even any in the US?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
nice to see what things you use^^ you can always learn new things from other artists.
But hey what's wrong with using the finger? sometime it's the best thing, when you for example wanna smooth out a big area just a little bit. you can use paper or cotton too, but also your finger I think. I like getting dirty

omg! you bought all the shop! XDD

Theres also another type of eraser that doesn't leave and shreddings behind, you know, the stuff you have to blow away after you use the eraser... i forgot what it is called though.
Obligatory cactus :3

Oh, my bad. When i decided to look it up, i figured out the eraser that does not leave residue behind that i could not remember the name to was just a kneaded eraser x3
>:3 That's an awesum icon.

Waar haal jij je spullen vandaan (Is nogal zeldzaam in Nederland om zulke spullen te vinden, vooral als je in een klein stadje woont 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
[link]
daar hebben ze echt alles!
verdorie, ik zou betaalt moeten krijgen door ze de hele tijd te promoten, zelfs nadat ik er ontslagen ben
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Mag ik dan nog even vragen of je daar ook je 'pencil eraser' vandaan hebt? Die kan ik namelijk nergens vinden in NL en op de website van De Kwast ook niet... Welk merk gebruik je? Dan kan ik ze misschien een e-mail sturen...
Thanks!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
de kwast heeft er heel veel in de winkel liggen
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Bedankt voor je reactie! Ik zal ze dan eens een e-mail sturen, ze hebben vaak meer dan er op de website staat.
'Pencil eraser' zullen ze wel snappen, vermoed ik? Geen flauw idee hoe je zoiets vertaald, hahaha!

Heel erg bedankt!
Serieus? Dat zouden ze echt moeten doen! Hoe komt het dat je daar ontslagen bent?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
graag gedaan!
het doet er niet echt toe waarom ik ontslagen was...
