Your home and studio are lovely. That seems like such a peaceful working environment. I'd love that for my painting
Thanks for noticing, I have recently moved studio and it is so nice and relaxing here 😊
@@LeilaAtaya Looks like you have a nice garden.
It’s fake posters lol look closely
I'm glad you're back!
Thank you, I was moving studio 😁
Hi Leila i always look forward to viewing new content from you. Representing socal, much love and inspiration!
Thank you so much 😊
Derwent also make round pencils which apparently have a thicker graphite core, but I'm not sure whether there is any difference otherwise. It might be worth trying to find some of their other pencils such as pastels, Inktense, Graphitone etc.
If you ever come to England they've got a pencil museum in the Lake District (yes, really!)
A pencil museum ... that sounds like a place for me lol
What do you recommend?
I learn about sketching starting in 2014, and faber castell is my tools until now .. but now I want to try the Derwent brand just for experience. because as we know the artist will be happy if the equipment is complete.. thx leila🎉
And i have question for you..
What papper you use ?
You are very welcome :)
@@dedeniqbal7 In the video it's just regular drawing paper from a drawing pad, nothing special really, but if you are working on a big project than make sure to use thicker paper around 300gsm
@@LeilaAtaya ok leila.. thx for your answer 😊.. nice video, introduce me from indonesia
Morning (Afternoon?!) Flower : - ..... **I'm really glad my knackered back woke me up early today!!**.
I hope you're well - certainly looking so - and, enjoying the Kiwi summer versus the currently 3 to 4 degrees C we're experiencing here in the U.K..... I'd rather be down there with you at the moment to be honest. Arthritis prefers warm and sunny days..... (!)
Anyway Leila - Thanks a lot for the mention, and, it's great to see the pencils in action, with a Pro, not just a scribbler like me!!!.
Bye Chuck, Nick x
Thank you :) yes it's nice and warm over here now but still on the cooler side for this time of the year. Unfortunately humidity can be as bad for arthritis as cold. If it gets bellow 0 it might snow in UK 😊
Very good and detailed information about those pencils. Thank you Leila.
Thank you :)
Thank you Leila for this very informative new video, great stuff as usual👍👍👍👀👀👀
Thank you so much 😊
Thanks this was really good information. I'm in NZ and just saw that Derwent is available on MightyApe but as a FC fan I was a bit unsure about buying them.
If you have a variety of FC graphite pencils don't worry about the Derwent especially being in NZ - shipment just adds that extra layer of expense 😊
I live in germany and there is no escape from FC. When I was a kid I thought it was the only brand that existed 😄
It's a similar story here, you go to stationary you'll see FC pencils (colour, graphite etc) you go to art shops same. Another popular one these days is Cretacolour, I think it's an Austrian brad.
I've just been reading about pencil grades on Wikipedia (as you do 😃) and it says
"Manufacturers distinguish their pencils by grading them, but there is no common standard. Two pencils of the same grade but different manufacturers will not necessarily make a mark of identical tone nor have the same hardness".
So you'll probably find that Faber Castell and Derwent pencils of the same hardness have different H or B numbers.
Yes that was one of the things I wanted to test. And it was a little different. But also the feel on the paper was different too. 😊
Yep I use mechanical pencils a lot and there is a distinct difference between brands, additionally European gradients tend to be much lighter than say those from Japan i.e. a Staedler 2B is lighter than a Pentel 2B, in fact it's even lighter than a Pentel HB. I tend to prefer the darker tones, guess it's be they are softer and require a lighter touch.
@@blaser80 Absolutely! if getting into a new brand it's always a good idea to either watch reviews first or get a sample. Just because they say the same thing they can be very different. Darker, softer pencils are a must for drawings I think. It's hard to achieve good contrast other wise.🙂
Love your veedeos, thank you for your content!
Thank you for your lovely comments :)
4h -> 4b steadtler, 4b -> 8b faber castell, 8b -> steadtler black or charcoal faber castell: Derwent pencils disappointed me, the tips break very easily, very similar shades between B's
Thanks for sharing your opinion. It's been some time now since I've filmed this and I keep using both brands but I've noticed that for serious shading and drawing I tend to reach out for Faber Castell somehow. I mean it could also be because I've used FC for so long before I even tried Derwent and we tend to go for things we are used to.
Good to be home! I choose Faber Castell
FC is my usual tool but it's good to compare when possible :)
Have you tried the Faber Castell Graphite Matte yet? I love them. Great review. Thanks from the U.S. ✏️🗒👍🙏🏻
Thank you so much :) glad you enjoyed it!!
LETS GOOOOOO GO LEILA GO LEILA
LOL :)
They are so close. I wonder if the normal variations within the same brand is that noticable?
There usually isn't that much difference in the same brand unless they are different lines and designed for different purpose. But I guess any company would be making adjustments to their recipes over time so pencils from 20 years ago may have a variation to a more contemporary one. - I'm guessing here really :)
...... And ...... : - I do enjoy watching you draw spheres (ball bearings to an engineer like me!) = *The Very First Video Of Yours That I Watched + Got Me "Hooked" Around A Year Ago*. A very interesting 20odd minutes. Bye Flower.
Yes I do have a video on different shading styles like that 😌
The garden background through your doors look so obviously fake. Best if you remove the posters lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂 hang on I'll compose myself .... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂no i can't ....😂😂😂 I haven't had such a good laugh in a long time!!!!
@@LeilaAtaya you know it’s fake. Instead of pretending to laugh like an idiot, post a video walking out into the garden. You know you won’t because you don’t have that garden
😊👍👍👍 прекрасное видео, много новой информации, спасибо Лейла
спасибо ❤️😊
