  • Hey, I learned many tips from you, your portraits are amazing.

    What kind of a pencil do you use?

    hope I can find it in Israel lol... thanks !

  • It is a drafting lead holder for 2 mil leads. I use 4b. These are common, and you will also need a sanding block for the chisel point method.

  • I like the video very much-more tips than I learned in class. Please tell me the guage of sandpaper you use to sharpen the pencil. Also, please tell me the name of the fabric Bandaids you use for your fingers. I think that is a wonderful tip.

    Thanks

  • It is a little block I buy at the art store in the drafting section. It is fine sandpaper. I usually use Band-Aid brand, but i also have used other brands of fabric bandaids with equal success. Glad to help.

  • It is fine sandpaper. I use mostly Band Aid brand. But any fabric bandaid works - I have tried them all and they are all OK.

  • What is the pencil the you're using? Your work is lovely!

  • It is just a Staedtler Mars drafring lead holder, with ordinary 2 mil leads, 4B. THe key is to sand the tip on the sandpaper for a chiseled point. THat is what makes it work so well.

see all
