As a aspiring graphic designer and one who just started learning, will this tool helpful ?

So, I use all of these. Mechanical pencils in .3, .5 and .7. I use those with leads that are nearly unbreakable in normal use. You have to get the ones that are very flexible. I also have several clutch pencils, which, they do also make in click advance styles. Some of the rotrings are. Also, I like koh-i-nors for 2mm and 5.6mm clutches. Talk about shading, it's like a magic marker of the pencil world. Check em out. There's this great pencil sharpener that has two holes for sharpening pencils, one does the wood and then the other does the lead, so you can choose how much lead you want out of the pencil without using a knife or a razor. And on the side there are two holes for lead sharpening for clutch pencils. I love it. It's called the automatic Long Point. But be careful I think only the blue one has the lead pointers included. Oh also it comes with good German blades for the pencil sharpeners and it comes with two extra blades stored inside the pencil sharpener. And it's this little pocketable awesome sharpener and it's cheap! Or use the Mitsubishi lead pointer it's very awesome and very small. I do like The Staedtler because it has the two different options for a normal point and then the obscenely sharp stab you through your hand point.

I use 0.5 and 0.7 pencils for several hours every day and never get the lead breaking. My use case is a bit different because I use them for mathematics, but still. I do also really enjoy using clutch pencils. I have a thirty year old Staedtler like yours and a couple of others (Rotring and Kaweco). I don’t really have a good excuse for owning six expensive pencils but I just enjoy using them.

Great video! If you’re not planning to use it for a few days is it best to let the sponge and paper dry up?

2 hues

Thank you - this is very helpful!. I was debating whether I’d find zinc white useful. I enjoy transparent colours and now understand what a gem it can be in the right circumstances.

Thank you! I couldnt think of any reason for the two holes and my leads kept breaking. Now I'm all set!

I LOVE this sharpener. I can get needle sharp points.

I thought you would explain the different mediums for acrylic paint.

Very helpful, thank you!

cobalt blue mixes brings vibrancy no other blues can achieve.

What about mounted Lino blocks? I have considered a 1x4 frame around with the block in the middle but I’m concerned about accuracy with more variables like that

I’m using I’m using 2b lead and it just keeps breaking

I really like this idea. I invest too much emotion in my paintings starting out and I think this will help me practice ideas without too much attachment. Thanks for sharing.

Super useful, thanks!❤

Just what I was lekking for...thank you

Just found your channel!! Love it! Keep up the good work. I especially love the pigment comparisons. Thank you for sharing your hard work!

Excellent work.Please keep showing comparisons of various colours

I wished you had used real Alizarin Crimson. Most Alizarin Crimson "hues" contain a quinacridone (magenta, red, rose, etc.) as its base (or sometimes, as the only pigment).

Thats been really helpful, thank you!

Actually, the Staedler Mars does have a lead sharpener on the top… it’s the hole on the top of the button. It’s not on the inside hole like other lead pointers, it’s on the outside. It won’t get as sharp as your lead sharpener you bought, but it works good enough. Only downside is when you finish, you should dump the graphite out of the cap.

Thank you very much for this mixing series. It’s very helpful ❤

thank you for the comparison Have not found much about Zinc-White.😊

Thank you for your video. Just wondering if you have come across an acrylic 'warm' grey paint. If you have, what brand and color name is it please?

Vibram are a con I had continental much better material and lasted me 9 years.

Great solution with Titan Buff! Very insightful. Thank you.

Dónde puedo comprar estos accesorios? 🙏🏻

Thank you for showing me how to use this one. I literally went and bought and old vintage point sharpener because I thought these ones were garbage that never worked.

Apparently the first number relates to the depth, with 1 being flat and 15 being deep. The second number is the max witdth of the cutting face in mm.

Hello, thank you so much for amazing video! Colors from Golden so beautiful and more deep, rich and bright. Instead of a lot colors better buy this set of colors. Which Cadmium Yellow do you use - light, medium or medium nue?

Thank you for this, it's very helpful!

thank you!

I love paint and have both.

The pencil has a built in lead pointer

Thanks for the work… in future videos, you should try to eliminate the brush cleaning noise.

Good explanation, thanks!

Thank you for the video!! I bought yellow oxide instead of ochre to paint along with Bob Ross (naturally 😅) and I thought I really screwed up big time but comparing them online I couldn't really see much of a difference. This video is very helpful!! Would you recommend adding some red to the oxide to make it more ochre-y?

Thanks that was very helpful! ✏️

Hi! Can I use this recipe fir mixed berries ?

Awesome Video Thanks! What happens when the eraser gets dried? can It be fixed?

very good presentation. thank you.

INSTRUCTIONS that came with Sta-Wet : 1-SOAK - just one piece- of the white paper sheets in HOT TAP WATER. (I fill up my clean sink about 1-2 inches of hot water to do this) OR put piece of white paper in a microwave safe bowl & microwave 3-5min or until water boils. 2- YELLOW SPONGE is to be SOAKED in cold water & wring out 1/2 of the water of sponge. 3- Place the SPONGE in first, smooth side up, then your paper. Use a paper towel to wipe off excess water. If it’s the 1st time using sponge- rinse it thoroughly under RUNNING water. DARK COLORS sometime bleed so FYI CLEAN UP- simply rinse out the sponge, you can do the same with the paper. Doesn’t have to be perfect! Especially if you’re using good quality paints. ❤

As I was standing literally 1 hour ago in front of the store shelf and tried to guess, which white I need, I ended up buying neither, but now I know that I should probably head back and buy Titanium white. Thank you so much for your video and it couldn't come on more right time. :D

Should I scrape the paint that dried off then soak it I only used it once so far. But paint is drying so I can scrape off paint and reuse the same side of paper or flip paper

Is there not a sharpener in the top section? There is on my 2mm pencils.

Mine didn’t come with directions and I couldn’t figure out why I payed 20$ for it! Then I discovered you have to add water but I didn’t know how so thank you thank you thank you so much!!!

I keep breaking my leads. Still😢

It's good for architecture but for drawing it's bad and sandpaper is much better because we need a built shape

Thanks so much! I am brand new at this. I bought a couple pair of these from Blick and I couldn’t figure out why they didn’t snap together like yours do. It turns out they come in different sizes. Now Blick has a selection and I bought a few. Thanks for all of your pointers.

beautiful resource thank you!
