What brush do you use? And what method do you use the brush for? You're drawings are breath taking!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

kelch12 In reply to kalikala [2012-04-28 05:34:36 +0000 UTC]

The brush is only used for spreading the graphite a little more after drawn with pencil. My drawings are done mainly with the "5 Pencil Method." You can check it out on Youtube.

Thanks for your comment.

Hi there, this was done over a course of a month, about 80hrs here and there. I was experimenting with different textures at that time. I'm glad that you found it beautiful

I'm from Mars.

hey kelvin! glad ou are getting the recognition you deserve. what brand of pencils are you using?

kelch12 In reply to Eyedias [2012-01-04 08:08:41 +0000 UTC]

This was done by some bad quality pencil without me realizing it. So it's not all about the pencil but your devotion toward your subject and drawing. With that said, I'm currently using "Blick Studio Drawing Pencils" You can see some of the recommendations from 5PencilMethod.com (see "Blog" for "pencil test results."
