Hi, is the steel Medium nib scratchy? I have one M nib, it is very feedbacky and a bit scratchy

Some pencil artists use the hot pressed arches

Hi. How do you like your raw silver/aluminum AL Sport? Is it now less shiny (2 years later)?

How does the grip in Graph1000 for pro feels like is it better than graphgear 1000

So thin

Ahh, I love the feedback asmr sound

It's a lovely version. I enjoy that it has aspects of 'understated classic' (the blueish purple and the trim) and some fun flair added (the sparkles and lilac ends) 🥰

Oh that's a nice pencil!

Me using 1 dollar replica.

You forgot to remove the blue cap off the end of the masterpiece in order to properly sharpen for length and point

So helpful!!!!! Thank you!

Hi. Do you still have this EF nib on your 146?

If drawing is your main concern why didn’t you test hot press paper? Cold press is textured for a reason, to give texture to your painting (it’s made for painting not drawing) hot press would have given you a smoother surface. Also you compared Baohongs student grade (academy) with Arches which is a top end professional paper 🤷‍♀️

non photo blue pencils did not show up when they first came about...over 80+ years ago. today's technology has the ability to pick up the "pigment" and has for at least a couple decades kinda making it obsolete in that area, but still great for rough draft sketches.

Thank you for this!

Interesting review , if you will be using paint. I like using graphite pencils and sometimes, charcoal. I have also used ink and wax on some of my work using both Fabriano and Arches papers. In my journey, I find that how the various papers react ( and I have tried many different papers over the years), depends greatly on the quality of the media one chooses to use AND how one goes about it. Each of us have our own ways of applications, so don't be shy about pushing the materials you use to their limit. You will eventually come to find the right combinations that fit your style...at the moment. Seek the moment.

Uhh 😅no difference, it's a scam tbh

Thanks for confirming some ideas I’ve been thinking about for my palette. Especially the individual pans with magnets & small porcelain dishes from a thrift store. I would rather spend money on quality paints & brushes than on accessories, lol.

can you replace the nib? I'm looking for fountain pens that allow you to replace the nib

And that says it all. The first three are so faint I can’t see them. Only the last four are serious contenders, and of those the Blackwing seems most legible. I favor a dark pencil, obviously.

Faber-Castell and Caran d'Ache are my favorites. GrafWood, Castell 9000, Pitt Matt... I love them. I never found myself having fun with the Staedtler's any product, and I won't be using them in the future. Blackwinng, on the other hand, they're really nice and feels premium. However, I think it's overrated, It's nice but I just don't like the design. Tombow Mono is also in my favorites, it's nice. But I'm disappointed that graphites and charcoals are the (certainly) only thing Tombow is good at. I was really disappointed by their markers, colour pencils and other products. This includes Staedtler, I just can't get to like that brand. Prismacolor Turquoise is nice, but Prismacolor has lots of issues with breakage and shipping. It doesn't feel premium. Sometimes it comes off with off-centered cores and damaged. If these weren't the issues, Prismacolor would be in my favorites. Uni?? I always loved Uni, their markers, coloured pencils, pens and fountain pens (they're not my favorite but I like it), I would love to try theirs. My absolute favorite brands are Faber-Castell and Caran d'Ache as usual. In every medium.

Basically, a fancy version of the Technograph yellow pencil.

Both are inferior when compared to Japanese paper. Poor North Americans are only allowed a few brands of everything. They have a dictatorship type of businesses

I like my camel hair rounds from Sri Lanka! And my goat rounds from China (maybe Korea).

For drawing Faber Castell is No1, no other comes close, not even Staedtler. Mitsubishi Hi Uni are great for nice looking handwriting but they need sharpening much more often than Faber Castell. For drawing, I use a set of Faber Castell TK9071 2mm/3.15mm leads (2H,HB,2B,6B), loaded in TK4600/TK9400 lead holders,for the darkest black, I use a Pitt Matt graphite 12B. For quick sketches, my favorite are Faber Castell Aquarelle graphite pencils, they are awesome. For charcoal drawing, General's charcoal pencils set and for classic Red Chalk/Sepia etc I use Koh-I-Noor either wooden pencils or their 5.6mm leads loaded in 5347/5344 lead holders. Those are the best pencils for drawing/sketching in my humble opinion.

Good

After buying that Bao Hong paper (do not believe it’s 100% cotton) & lifting colors was very difficult & if sketching can do it on hot press Arches. I also agree on getting the rolls and soak to stretch.

Arches now offers Extra White for some of their paper and, assuming front and back are equally sized, the back of the CP paper, at least, is quite smooth. I'm torn between these three and Hahnemuhle - The Collection, as all perform well, in my experience. Also, those poor papers! So much scrubbing! Grab a larger brush and use more water. 😅

dont know why but something about you and the way you conducted this comparison just really annoyed me

I enjoyed the mechanical pencil reviews and they helped me a lot in making my decision. I look forward to your review videos on Pilot S20, Staedtler Hexagonal and Hedera 0.5 pencils.

i hope to see blue red green pencils that can be erased by regular rubber using advanced nano technology

I use watercolour brushes but actually paint acrylics. Whats the pros and cons of natural hair versus synthetic hair for detail brushes, liners, daggers etc ??

I'm always in doubt if I buy or not this sharpner because I think I will like the point less square but I never have experience with this type of sharpner isn't so common in my place, here is more the common plastic school ones.

it's "schlichter" not "schlicter" ;)

Loved it!

I like to use small compact nearly undestructable metal tins, but I don´t like the beading and stain that can make every next mixture muddy and dirty. thats why I like to use a tiny white porcelain plate or white flat ceramic bowl for mixing if I need. so I can better see what I´m doing and pick up the color that I want from my mixture.

By the way , you are bored by the scratches , but WE are bored by your nonsense problems ! Try to draw better ! 😂

Por favor. Onde você comprou as caixinhas para as suas Lamy ?

Tombow Mono 100 definitely out of the 7 for me.

I agree with your review

Just describe it as a mechanical pencil with a THICC lead

Does that cap perfectly align with the plateau? It looks like it's off slightly. I'm asking because mine does the same thing. It doesn't align completely.

I love baohong paper. I've so far been able to do everything I wanted with it. Love the texture and the way it holds water compared to less textured papers

Was all the paper test on cold pressed or hot pressed

Thanks for the pencil review. I wanted to ask where you picked up that pencil box? I have been looking for a pencil box that is just the size of pencils like the one you showed.

Thank you! Your review is very good and your ideas are inspiring! 😊

actually can't se the clear picture of the paper in terms of more textured or rough so can you tell me which brand is more textured or rough I am looking for a rough texture in cold press thanks plx reply

Can anybody recommend me a lead holder type? I was using a mechanical one from Faber Castell before, but I broke it when trying to dissamble it. I will start learning writing arabic calligraphy and want one for doing some notes while studying. I came here after seeing the TK from Faber Castell in a shop today but wanted to make sure it suits my needs. Any advice will be of great help!
