Tip: hardness is how hard or soft an art supply is. (duh) The reason this is specified is because soft materials put down more pigment while harder ones put down less, appearing lighter on the page. This allows for more control in shading which is why artist grade pencils and pastels often offer a range of hardness.

{note- the softer it is the more trouble it will have maintaining a point.}

hello!

so, i tried a new art form and multiple mediums this week. and a completely new (new to me) “form” of art (form or type or something idk) which was figure drawing.

this is what came from it, good or bad.

i used conté, vine charcoal, charcoal pencils, and a white colored pencil for some randomly placed highlights 😭

it was definitely interesting and i’m not sure i would do it again but at least i tried 👍

i was also incredibly happy to be able to do this with a live model in a class with other people my age

okay thanks!

My leg currently needs constant elevation so I'm unable to be at my desk. I thought it'd be a good opportunity to try out charcoal pencils for the first time, I was a lot more used to it by the second page 💙 (posted first here)

I like showing experimentation, practices and studies these days in between more polished work--not only because my health doesn't allow me to make fully polished work as much, but also to break the illusion that artists have to be perfect with every piece and when trying something new.

Tip: avoid using pencil sharpeners on artist grade pencils. Crayolas are hard and cheap because they're made for children and don't have to perform particularly well, they just have to be somewhat resistant to breaking. High quality/artist grade pencils have softer, more fragile cores for ease of blending. Especially for creamier feeling pencils such as Prismacolor or Caran D'ache Luminance. Pencil sharpeners are too rough of a way to sharpen and it causes the core more breakage, to avoid this use a blade such as a knife, boxcutter, or craft knife to sharpen them by hand. This also allows you more control.

{Note - this goes for charcoal pencils especially because charcoals are very fragile and breakable}
