Hi rapid!
ruclips.net/video/tT276DZRcy8/видео.html
I made a video exiting over that you hearted my comment XD
But thank you so much for the heart! I really appreciate it.
Plus your tutorials really helped me become a better artist. And thank you❤
I need help drawing realistically
Hey, um....I would like to know the names of your Background musics....can you send us RUclips LINKS or names?(I loved musics which used in before episodes) Plz.....we love you your all episodes more than you think....Thank you madam for doing those! 😗
And one more thing....can you give me aliexpress links....(AMAZON is not really supporting to our country in many products....they say try another seller....and sometimes I have to pay triple time than original price for shipping...😢)
Hi Rapid! I just have one lil question when sanding out the paper.
Can you also use a filer to smooth out the point??
Ur the only one who didnt use tons of paper to make one stump
Jumana Noory I think they where complement them. Also chill out on the punctuation.
Hahaha! So true.. when I make it myself I ended giving up because I can't make it 😢
ruclips.net/video/ryLNO0_DzqI/видео.html
@Bigsmall Blast “Ex cooz meh” Yeah that’s totally good grammar
#farjana @farjana drawing academy 😘😘😘😘💗💗
I used a medium grit nail file to smooth it out - worked great if you don’t have sandpaper laying around!
Tha is I really needed that because I don't have sandpaper
@strongaliencreature thanks
Thank you
Great! I DONT have sandpaper so this will be helpful
Genius! This is why I love the comment section
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.
This is the sweetest comment😭🥺
@@ajzdawg I mean it. I love colourful people, so am I.

RapidFireArt Would printer paper work? ☺️
It depends on the specific texture. I would stay away from the glossy type and only use matte printer paper. It's worth a try!
RapidFireArt thank you so much. Words cannot express how grateful I am towards finding your channel! ☺️☺️😊😌
Is it reusable
I cant make it i have to go and ot at waltons 😑😢
how 2 role a joint
underated

Why is this the first comment I see
Yup! I've watched my mum do it enough times this was easy~
I didn't understand
When your art teacher thinks blending is “cheating”
i-
i- HUH
What-
Wait what?
@@peachylottie7860 I prefer to use my finger when blending to shade fur because of the texture it creates. There is no cheating when it comes to art, only discovering and using your resources.
I really find your tutorials helpful and I wanna say thank you!
here my experience with rolling joints comes in handy lmaooo
Lol
😂
My finger: are you really gonna replace me

Normal tape won't do guys, use flex tape!
Weird flex but okay
😂😂😂
Glue it

Ah yes, I have achieved comedy
Definitely the best tutorial for making blending stumps on RUclips. Literally any other one out here feels as if it was made in hurry and isn’t such intuitive as this one.
Evil Parakeets prove it then
I used my pumice stone instead of the sandpaper and then white glue instead of the cello tape , the stamp came out excellent!! thanks for sharing
I had 1 of these for the 1st time and I thought the paper was covering up like a pencil and I kept tearing at it to get the “pencil” and then I realized...it’s only paper when I had already tore it almost all the way thru.. 🤦♀️
Sad

Oh noooooo
Sadder oof
SERENA WU ???
Great tutorial!! I like using lollipop paper sticks as small blenders, i just cut the top to make it sharp
That’s genius-
Wait that’s actually so smart
OMG
That’s freaking brilliant. I have a jar of cake pop sticks that are in for a change in careers!
Your smart 😳
My daughter will love this!🥰 Now we know why we got sand paper in her art kit 😄 👍🏻
Am I the only one who’s a digital artist but still watches these type of tutorials?..
nope not the only one
Am I the only one whos not an artist at all but still watches these tutorials
I've been very interested in digital art recently. What app/software do you use?
I currently use ibis paint and medibang apps on Android
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!
I love the fact that your videos are so detailed and useful! I love them! ♡
Thank you very much. I haven't made one of these since I was a child. All I remembered was rolled paper. This was very well explained, and now I only have myself to blame if I mess anything up. Fingers crossed, because I have some important projects. Now only if I could find all my old pencil sets, lol.

Hey thank you for showing me how to make a blending stump. Now I can continue my manga project
Now I got rid of overpriced blending stumps available in art stores. This is a great tip to save money thanks a lot
Only £3 for a 6 pack o amazon. Cheaper than wasting my own time.
Omgosh, this is so helpful! Thank you!! I couldn't find a blending stump anywhere in town so this is awesome!!! Gonna make my own right now!!
Guys i recommended for young ones go to get help with guardians when doing the razor thing i slice a cut of my finger
But I didn't lose my finger ok?
It really is painful tho-
That happened to me once
How is your finger 🤞
The paramedic told me not to make these things after I've been smoking.
@@themystical5803 im fine actually
**insert me who use my baby finger to blend it**
Random but I think "baby finger" sounds adorable
x tonib x Ikr🥺
you mean, pinky?
TheDestroyer73 its what they call it
For me I think it doesn’t smudge evenly so I just use tissue if I don’t have stump
Very useful tutorial that allows new people on a budget to get access to a good art tool
Excellent!!! I really wanted to know how to make it at home..thanks for video ❤
When I saw a video made by her my whole art life changed thank you for showing home made art supplies 😁
Better tip: how to clean your blending stump:
Use an eraser
if it's homemade, nah.
I Changed my Name yes it still works I tried it
@@user-fo5zn6jj8n it's not a "better" tip lol.
By rubbing in sandpaper

You are my SA YA MA (meaning female teacher in Myanmar)!!!!!
Now I can create the best eyes drawing with your tech. Thanks a lot, SA Ya MA.
Thanks Darlene , this really helped me in my sketches plus I didn't know about this tool 😊
Hi rapid! I've been a fan since 29k!
@VERNONBLVJSCSONAVUNE On the 7 train and 6 train probably not
Excellent tutorial. As is all of your videos. Never used a blending stump thanks 4 info I subscribed about a week ago and love to pencil sketch. Learning a lot
Thank you for the whole information you share. Before 10 years i was drawing amateurly and i begin to draw nowadays again... I'm shocked after i draw the realistic eye with your tutorial. It is like it's gonna pop out from the paper xD Thank you so much... :)
me: watches video

So now I can make my own. Thank you! 👍
THANKS A LOT!!
Really needed it
Def gonna try!
I LOVE ALL UR VIDEOS
They r SUPERB😊
3 yeara ago, I saw one of your video and thats the reason why I loved drawing now.. Its because of you, Rapid Art Fire... Your my inspiration, but Im not yet expert at drawing... Thank you for introducing me the world of drawing...
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 :)
Love your tutorials! Btw your voice is so smooth. Straight outta anime it seems
Wow..i try to do it✍..thanks darlene💌
omg it worked with a4 paper sheets
if you didn't got soft paper you can use A4 paper
it really blend very well !!!!! XD
and my drawings became too realistic and this blending stump is a good tool for manga and anime artists
thanks RapidFireArt....
ruclips.net/video/RMzZch_cpjM/видео.html👌
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
Congratulations, you have spent 7 minutes reminding me of how I'll never be good at drawing.
Hi, I'm just getting back into drawing and I love how well you explain everything. It makes it so much easier to get ack into things. Thank you :-D
Thanku so much . I finally made it because of your help❤
Thank you..both my sister and I are artist so we go through so many. We use many for colored pencils, drawing, etc
hey darlene i have "no experience" in drawing can u teach me from the basic of drawing will you help me?
Hi Chandra! Have you taken the free beginners' course? I think it's a good place to start :) rapidfireart.com/how-to-draw-for-beginners/
Saw
For the course should I use big drawing book or small book or medium sized book
Lately I have been obsessed with nails So I was scrolling thru my recommendations and I scroled kinda fast and I thought you had white nails 😂😂😛😂
Definitely going to try this!
The thinner the paper the better, try brown paper bag, a thin one usually found in small brown paper bags, if you continue to roll it it will continue to tighten, use the razor to sharpen and use the sandpaper to smooth the tip, it will also make it porous.

Thanks
Her voice reminds me of troom troom lol
Haha lol
Lol
What if she is??
Kind people. How this professional draws. It's just SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER.
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.
THIS WAS WAS I WANTED FOR A LOONG TIMMEEEEE...THANK YOUUUUUUUUU
Yayyyy
Ohhhhh that’s what that’s for!!! I have both the blending thing and the sandpaper grid just sitting in my closet cuz I had no idea what they were for
lovelyyyy
Hiii! Am I early?
H A Y L E Y F O R E V E R late
Thank youuuu. I had one but my dog decided it was a good idea 2 chew on it
It's the same for me, but instead, she eats erasers...
Maybe feed the dog once in a while? ;)
It's so useful. Thanks
Fantastic work
Thank you for teaching me how to make that Brandon's stump I want to ask you how can you make a blending stump
Uhhhh, can we do it with tissue? That's the softest thing I found in my home.
Thank you for the tutorial!
This is amazing diy for drawing channel benefits .... Thank you so much
see her grab a cutter*
Me: grab my blade-
Sad tho
i was wondering why you wear a glove on your pinkie?
Nad Rusty it’s so the graphite doesn’t smudge across the page . ( I think )
Yup! It also keeps my hand clean. Before I bought this glove, I always had to erase my skin after drawing.
Your drawings are really great, and it really helpful to me
Ty so much it will really help my art career!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
And as expected it didn't worked for me n made a mess 😂😂😂

Hi ARMYs!Stay safe!!
"Hey, I'm Darlin and youre watching disney channel*
this realy help me blend my graphite drawing. i use a tin sketch pad paper to make a blending stump and it work perfectly. i try this with a ticker paper but it dint blend that well but its good for making a texture drawing like hairs that need more texture to it especial when its curly hairs. you can use electrical tape, double sided tape and paper tape.

Great work thank you
AAAAAAA FIRSTTT
She kinda sounds like that girl troom troom voiceover (just a tiny bit)
Such a wonderful and super cool drawing 👍👍👍
Thank you. A great tutorial.
3:40 smoke weed everydayyy 😂
I tried this ten times (I counted) and EVERY SINGLE TIME it looked exactly like the badly rolled stump. I’m crying 😞
I also relate to you rosethorn
Thanks!that was truly helpful.
Thanks for your tutorial, its inspiring
Use me as the "why am i watching this" button, i'll just like my own comment-
My paper is soft and my Problem is my hand is too smooth and it's really difficult to roll it. Anyway the softest paper I got is my parent toilet paper and it's actually work tbh.
i really love your drawing its so helpful thanks
Thank you so much for this. I’m going to try it right away 😅
your vids remind me of the first few tutorial vids here on youtube....it takes me back :P
Thats not art, thats some kind of DIY craftmanship xD
You are a star! ⭐️✨ thank you so much for this!
Easy blending stamp.... Thanks for sharing this video... ☺☺☺☺🙏🙏🙏
Excellent tutorial!
I really needed one 🥳
Thanks this is very useful 😊
Your voice is oddly calming
