So gifted. Love your work. The video itself is art as well. I continue to try the indenting technique with very poor results. Never know if it’s the paper or pressure I apply. You make it look easy!
Thank you so much. The 2 papers I use are St Cuthberts Saunders Waterford and Arches Aquarelle and both are around 300g Hot Press. The Arches is incredibly tough and harder to indent but does give a fantastic result, so I would recommend the St Cuthberts for starting out and that is what the falcon in the video is drawn on. Another thing that does made a difference is the surface that you work on as this needs to be very firm so for example I always have the paper on a firm smooth surface such as MDF. Some drawing boards can have a soft texture and the technique doesn't work as well on those equally if you have another piece of paper or card underneath your drawing paper again this will diminish the effect. I hope this is helpful and again, thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.

That is so nice to hear. Thank you.
Which medium you are using
I am using graphite pencil
What is the tool you use for indenting?
Thanks for the comment. The tool is a dart it just has the tip blunted so as not to cut the paper.
may I ask which pencil brand are you using?
I use the CARAN d'ACHE Grafwood range of pencils. The grades of pencil used on this picture where 4H,H,F,,2B, 4B and 9B. Thanks for watching.
Awesome. Regarding the background, what are you using to get that please. Regards
Thank you so much. I used a makeup sponge to apply 3B graphite powder as a base tone and then used a 9B graphite block over the top to finish,.
@@JamieBoots Much appreciated. many thanks
