    I used to sketch when I was a kid,didn’t have the time raising five kids. I’m now in my 60’s and thought I’d try again. I found you on utube and can’t get enough. With your help dusted the cob webs and can’t believe how good I’ve gotten with your help. Thankyou so much.

    I usually use a 6B for extra dark tones on my drawings. It also depends very much on the type of paper you're using. In this video I'm using Smooth Bristol Board. The smoothness means that those white dots don't appear. I hope this helps in some way.

    Most art supply stores have them. You can also make one on a budget: grab a piece of paper, roll it super tight, wrap some tape around it. Then, you can go ahead and sharpen one of the ends with hobby knife or a scissor, and voilá: you have a blending stick.
