Hi Rapid! I just have one lil question when sanding out the paper. Can you also use a filer to smooth out the point??

I am 70 years old, since I was 15 years I paint. Also is making a drawing my favorite. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your explanation and examples how to draw. With so much patience, I understand every word you say. Thanks again, you make my life so colorful.

Congratulations, you have spent 7 minutes reminding me of how I'll never be good at drawing.

Thank you..both my sister and I are artist so we go through so many. We use many for colored pencils, drawing, etc

I saw a lot of youtube videos and tried to do blending stump but nothing worked out....i tried doing by seeing your video...it really worked😍tysm...u r the best

I use a flat synthetic bristle paint brush, about a quarter inch wide. Think about it, graphite is just dark dust lightly ground into a surface. The brush acts like a broom, pushing the dust around. I lightly push into the graphite with small circular motions. If you do it right, the blend is so smooth it looks like you airbrushed it. As you use the brush you build up graphite in the brush that you can use to brush onto an area where you want just the barest hint of shading. The best part is that unlike a blending stump, there's no chance that you'll grind the graphite into the paper making it impossible to erase out and leaving behind a nasty ghost image. Make it a good brush though, I think mine is a Robert Simmons White Sable 760B. Doing this will ruin it for painting, but it will also ruin blending stumps for you!

Wow..i try to do it✍..thanks darlene💌

You know what? I planned to purchase more paper stumps, just writing a reminder onto my shopping list. Your video came in the right time, I just happened to see your video while reading comments on another channel. Here I am, happy as a lark, I will stay on your channel and watch a video. Thanks so much.

Thank you for the tutorial!

I've just come across blending stumps after using tissue paper and a finger to blend initially. The idea of buying stumps seemed very overkill for a piece of rolled/compressed paper, especially when so much paper is used around the home. Had search for a method of making your own and came across your very useful video, thank you! Like the idea of cutting a triangle out of the rectange to make rolling it tight easier :)
