thanx a lot :) i have a question for you: what do you use to blend on bristol? itīso smooth, the blending is really difficult. i tried cotton pads, sponges, eyeshadow applicators...one applicator worked but it got destroyed soon :-?

 JRFortson - 02/11/09, 23:53 reply
Sounds like you tried everything but a tampon!?!? :oO: :laugh: :guffaw: :grin: I use torchillons and tortillians. Check out details in my TIPS GUIDE here: rick-kills-pencils.deviantart.com/gallery/#TIP-GUIDES

 JRFortson - 02/11/09, 23:54 reply
BLENDING: I am convinced now that it’s ALL IN THE BLENDING!!! I use Blending Stumps, Tortillions, Torchillons, Paper towels, and sometimes Q-tips and make-up sponges. Many of the techniques would require me showing you, rather than describing them, but I will try a few. For one, I am always mindful of how much graphite is already on the stump, which determines how much pressure I apply when blending? I have many different sizes for both tight spots and large areas. Again, layering is the key. When a Blending Stump gets too much graphite on it, it tends to get slick and shiny, and stops blending. To extend it’s life, I will scrape off the excess graphite by turning it while scraping it on sandpaper until the fibers are useful again. Whether I am Shading or Blending (Rendering) I most Always blend in the SAME direction that the skin is going, in order to build the illusion of dimension and shapes. I also turn the stump as I blend, if more graphite is needed, it is usually on the other si

thanx a bunch for this detailed answer :whip: :whip: :whip:seems like i have to buy some blending stumps :oO:the one applicator that worked for me was not made of sponge, but something more synthetic and the result was really smooth and no lines were showing. anyway, i canīt find this material anywhere because i canīt even name it. :S:thanx again for your patience :hi:

here is the exact brand I use from their website. The ones on the bottom - soft paper felt blending stumps. The 8943B stumps. www.loew-cornell.com/products/flashpaper/12/index.html they are double sided and I get the medium sized kind. You may also find them and order them online here: www.dickblick.com/products/gray-paper-stumps/ :grin: :hi:

thanx a LOT! iīll try at the place i usually buy my stuff, but if i donīt find it, i may order them :hi:

so far it looks great!! I like the graphix=c style. No need to blend it more vthan that!!! You can use Chamois leather, it give a veru smooth render excelent for skin, Lightweight felt is some how more textured but works great for fabrics... Keep up the good stuff

 ginxy - 01/11/09, 22:00 reply
thanx for everything ;) so i might try some of that stuff :hi:
