Am I required to use every grade of pencil, like 2B, 3B, 4B, 6B, 8B, and 10B, for making this powder of different grades, like we have different pencils for different shades, or is powder made by using an 8B pencil sufficient?
You could try, but in my experience, my powder (from my 8B pencil) produces lighter value than if I draw directly with my pencil. Now, when I want to create super dark value, I'd just draw with pencil, and when I want to create smooth light value, I use my powder.
Using a graphite block or graphite stick (not sure about proper name in English? Like a pencil, but consisting only of graphite and no wood) is way easier and faster than using a regular wooden pencil. I use sandpaper grit 150. Using the powder gives darker (!) and more even results than using the regular pencil-drawing method.
@@armadaliuart Yes, I know who it is intended for. That's why I added my suggestion to use graphite sticks instead of pencils (if you can get graphite sticks where you live). I never buy graphite powder but also make my own, using sandpaper and graphite sticks.
To add to this, here’s the issue I think will be slightly problematic. You use Staedtler mars Lumograph BLACK pencils. This lead has less graphite and more carbon which means they will be blacker and less reflective.
Very clever. Thank you for sharing your graphite powder tips.
Thanks CJ 😊
Nc vid bro keep it up. Its new to me that you can use blending stomp and graphite powder to make more dark value shading!
Thank you! Yes, try it sometimes, it's faster than shading with pencil, and it's fun too. 😊

Wow.. How did you get that incredible idea...? 😯😯
Thank you again Lidia! It's easy! 😁😁

Thank you so much for the suggestion, this video is intended for people who doesn't have charcoal / graphite powder.

Graphite pencil name?
Staedler pencil 8B
Can you use mechanical led, I'm not that confident in cutting a pencil
Sure, but since there is no 8B mechanical led, i guess the powder won't be as dark.
@@armadaliuart FYI, Mitsubishi UNI leads are 8B in 2mm.

nice one bro
Thank you myfriend! 😊🙏
for the people who don't have sandpaper like me, use a nail file.
Thank you so much!

Thank you my friend! 🙏🙏
Instructions unclear. Teeth now black.
Hahaha.. Well that's on you mate! You need to add even more graphite! 😜😁✌🏻
@@armadaliuart haha. Will try it.
