WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT YOU ARE THE BEST ART TEACHER EVER OMFG THANK YOU
If all teachers taught their subjects the way just taught this, I would have been more interested in what they had to say and less in just doing the bare minimum to pass a test.
This is actually the art teacher version of michael jones im scrreaming
Tuesday Tips – Embrace The Nose / It’s very easy to take shortcuts when drawing the nose, and honestly, it’s fine most of the time. The nose is right in the center of the face and can unintentionally draw a lot of attention if constructed poorly. But when it’s embraced, it can do wonders. It’s key to track the facial features at odd angles and can bring a ton a personality to a character design. Use it or lose it! -Norm @grizandnorm #100tuesdaytipsbook #100tuesdaytips #tuesdaytips #arttips #arttutorial #embracethenose
ok, i’ve decided to make a tutorial on how to prepare these graphite blenders (english is not my first language so keep that in mind) hope i explain myself well:
i think they’re called stumps in english, whatever, the point is i’ve seen a lot of artists ditching them and recommending using q-tips instead becaue “they’re hard and don’t blend well” or using them right away, so i thought i would show you how to soften them. some of you may know this but i’m sure a lot of you don’t
step 1: buying them (i recommend getting 3, the smaller one, a medium size one and a large one)
step 2: search a hard surface (the floor is great) and get a hammer
step 3: get one stump and start hammering it, you have to hammer the whole stump but go a little bit harder on the tips
step 4: roll the stump and hammer all sides (don’t go crazy it has to stay round) it may take a while
step 5: to know when you’re done you gotta squeeze the tip, it’s gotta be soft enough to form an oval between your fingers but not flaten right away
step 6: choose the softer tip and put the stump vertical with the chosen tip up, hit the floor repeatedly to get rid of the other tip, keep doing that until the bottom is flaten, you should end up with something like this:
step 7: once you’re done, put tape around the point, right where the cone of the point starts forming
step 8: get some sandpaper and sand the tip (horizontally like in the gif), keep the sandpaper in your case because that’s how you “clean” the tip
i had these for almost 7 years (yeah i know they look nasty, art isn’t clean)
and they work perfectly
Great for traditional artists! I love blending stumps.
For those who still use pencils, you may want to consider using these to get the full potential of pencil and carbon drawings.
What the frig!? I took every art class my college had to offer and they never taught me THAT’S how you use those!? D:<
