Description
Hey, guys!
People keep asking me what I use to draw and how I get my lines so clean. Now I'm going to show you!
CLICK HERE TO NAVIGATE TO THE VIDEO:
Β youtu.be/OK87_8P5vAo Anyways, this was largely due to a Tumblr request I got today (yesterday?). Sort of the last straw to break the camel's back. I'm tired of typing everything.
Basically this is me, through sheer power of will and ingenuity, finding a way to film myself drawing. It involves the re-purposing of a vanity case. Don't ask.
Please let me know if this was at all helpful! I really only wanna share what I know and if I don't do that effectively, then that's a problem.
Thanks, guys!

This has been reaeeeally helpful Ez thanks
Okay and this may be a dumb question but have you tried to erase colored pencil with the kneaded Β eraser? And does it provide you with the same result?Β
π: 0 β©: 1
erm, it still works on coloured pencils, but in the same way a normal eraser works. Like, it works kind of, but not really.
It might also depend on the pencils, though.
Glad you found the tutorial helpful!!

Yeah! And they're super cheap and easily available! GOOD LUCK!!!

And to think that I've had this dough eraser thing lying around for years! I've been using it to stick notes and drawings to walls without using tape XDΒ
And yes, this was very helpful, I'm definately trying this

YOU DON'T USE YOUR PUTTY ERASER??
Nah, I hope you try the technique and that it works super well for you!

No problem, your art inspires me

Doh, I have a question I forgot to ask on the video. Does the "steamrolling eraser" technique help avoid smudging the lines? I find if I erase my darker lines, I tend to smudge stuff onto the paper.
π: 0 β©: 1
Absolutely! What happens when you "steam roll" is the eraser picks up any extra graphite and grain in a static position. That alone never causes it to smudge. So Erase first with the putty eraser, then erase with a solid eraser. That will guarantee the lines will be gone, gone, gone forever!
Best of luck!

Wow! Thank you so much! Your tutorial helped me out a LOT! (And you inspired me to go find my good pencil which has been missing for weeks and my dear squishy-eraser!)Β I had so much fun trying this out! It really works amazingly well!!

Lo! I'm so glad I could make you laugh!! 
And the tutorial helped loads! I started drawing my OC that I haven't done in AGES.
Hugs back!!! And keep up with Valiard Mansion. If it's ever printed I will be the first one to buy a copy! Until then I'm going to happily peruse your DA for the story!

I don't do much traditional drawing these days (and when I do, I tend to use a pen, because I'm insane) but back in the day the kneaded eraser was one of my favorite tools! I never tried using it like a steam roller, but I made lots of use out of being able to shape it however I wanted.
Seriously, kneaded erasers are the best!
It was also cool seeing how you draw!

Hey thanks for watching!!
And yes, I can't live without my kneaded eraser. Oh my!

This spoke to me on a spiritual level. Thanks for taking the time to show us your magical skills. I had been wondering about your lines, the looked so clean~ You're too cute!Β

ON A SPIRITUAL LEVEL, YOU SAY?Β
I'm so happy you watched the video! Thank you so much!!!

Oooh, interesting vid!!! I love watching your process as you draw; made me want to consider my own 'this is how I draw stuff' videos
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, "how I draw" vids are pretty easy to make. You should do it!
Thanks so much for your kind words!

Once I find the time and confidence in my 'teaching' abilities, I shall!
YAY HUGS!

Ooh I like the "steamrolling" technique. I hadn't thought of doing it like that (I usually just dab at it lol) I tried it out, and it was definitely better!Β
I'd love to see more videos from you. You have a really nice voice as well. (sorry if that sounds weird, I don't mean to be creepy xD)
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, dabbing makes the paper pop and warp.

You're very welcome!

You did very well on that video. The steamrolling technique was new to me and it became a helpful tip. Β It brought back my need to do videos as well. Keep it up with the videos. Β I'd love to see more.
π: 0 β©: 1
AWESOME! THANK YOU! Apparently in my last video, I took too long to get started. 
π: 0 β©: 1
It becomes a habit once you do them more often. Β Just keep up the good work and you'll do great! ^_^

I like your Disney-esque art style as well as the technique described.

Lovely as always! Haha you are such a sweet little thing, you have the kindest voice ever!

NO! YOU'RE SWEET!!!
Thanks so much!

This was super helpful. I never thought of "steamrolling" the puddy in order to lighten the drawing. I usually just press it, or dab it? Whatever. THAT. haha. Anyways, I like your style. A bit Disney-ish in a way. haha. Truly inspiring.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, dabbing it makes the paper pop!
And yeah, I'm a big fan of traditional animation, so my style is inspired by Disney, DreamWorks and all the rest!
π: 0 β©: 1
That's hella cool. I'm heavily inspired by Disney, which is why most of my drawings kinda look like Disney characters (or so my brother tells me. haha) But I try to create my own style, you know? Not just copy Disney.
