Katie 9 3/4 dont buy derwent theyre overpriced for a pencil extender, get kuelox instead it does the exact same thing but way cheaper i got mine for $1 only
This made me realize I needed a pencil extender. Majority of my colored pencils are scraps of older sets (my classmates broke them) so many of them are still useful but too small for me to hold. Or i can just get a straw or boba straw and shove the pencil in it and secure it with something.
Pencil extenders are really useful but I bet you could make an alternative, I don't think a pencil would fit into a straw (at least not the straws I have) but let us know if you find a way:)
Hi, that was a helpful video. I bought a TGAAL sharpener and it is fantastic! I saw on another video a tip re sharpening pencils that I thought I’d share with you. They actually recommended instead of normally sharpening a pencil by rotating the pencil, to leave the pencil still and rotate the sharpener around the pencil as they said it protected the core of the pencil from being broken a lot more than sharpening pencils the traditional way by rotating the pencils. I haven’t worked much with pencils yet except for a couple of plain graphites but the times that I did sharpen any pencil using this alternate method, I haven’t had any of the cores in the pencils breaking in me yet. Anyway, I just thought you might like to hear other ways of doing something, as I do like that myself because I’m curious by nature and like to carry out experiments with everything I do generally 😃
WHAAATTTT i have those rubber "brushes" i use them for sculping but i never thaouth of using it with masking fluid i feel so dumb just today i ruined a brush, you've blown my mind
LittleMissObsessive everyone is doing everything with different way. I undestand that it might seems crazy to u but at least you tried something new!!!!!
I use chalk pastels and I had another pastelist recommend the silicon brushes to use with blending and detail etc with pastel. The different points can create different effects and textures. I’m yet to try them, but I got a spare set to test, as I only used them for clay sculpture before. They also work well with charcoal apparently
Thanks for sharing information regarding all these accessories :) Specially -Marker Airbrush , Kneaded Putty Eraser, Multi Pencil Sharper, Pencil Extenders, Eraser Pencil and Silicone Brushes. I was really wondering what the silicon brushes were used for. And also thanks for sharing information regarding pencil Sharper too and i will definitely buy it too. Thank you :)
The silicon brushes can often be found in Aldi or Lidl when they have craft stuff in store. They can also come in handy for cake decorating! Nail art dot tools are handy for paper scoring.You can even use nail gels in card making! Also, for those with an iPad - there are many good drawing/design apps that are relatively cheap or even free.
When I found out you had one of them silicone brushes I was strangely relieved. I thought I was the only one who used masking fluid with the brushes instead of acrylic or pottery.
I don't see myself using much of these tools since I'm not a fan of watery splattery things but I loved your video either way because it made me discover many tools I have never seen before ! Thumbs up !
Tye tip with the silicon brushes was very useful to me since I already have some. Also the pencil sharpener tip was especially helpful to me. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for this video. I love getting tips from other artists on their tools and unique ways to use them. Like many others here I have a bunch of silicone sculpting tools and never would have thought to use it for the masking fluid. Also that sharpener is going to save so many of my colored pencils thank you so much!
These seem really helpful! I can definitely agree with the spritzer water bottle, I have a couple on hand. If you want, you could also add paint into the bottle, mix the colors you want and spray it onto the paper, it can create some really cool effects :) Also I really need that pencil extender, haha
Ah tools... I love them just as much as all the different media 💖 Great idea to use the silicone shapers for the masking fluid. I bought masking fluid in a marker (Molotow brand) instead so I won’t have to use and ruin brushes anymore. Will share your idea with a friend who recently bought the fluid in a bottle.
Thank you for sharing:) I have masking fluid in a pen as well, although I haven't opened it up yet as I was worried about it drying out quickly. Have you had yours open long?
Windy Iris Art I had to check that. It never occurred to me that could be happening 🙈. I opened mine up 4th March 2017 and just tested it and the fluid is just as thin as it was when I opened it 😁
The silicone shaper tip was GENIUS. I am an art teacher and we have ruined countless brushes with masking fluid . I bet they would be good to apply glue to items as well . Thanks for the tip !
I just visited my family and brought back some of my old art supplies I had left behind, and I found that most of my 11 year old inks were still viable. I need spare dropper bottles now so I can mix! I'm SO excited for Inktober now.
Love your art accessories Windy. Extremely useful. I have your bonus one, but what a fantastic idea to use this with the masking fluid. Yes, i have ruined many brushes with the masking fluid. Lol. Crafty hugs. Xox
these are really cool! I use ziplock bags the same way you use the acrylic blocks and they're really good for making watercolor type backgrounds. I spritz some water then apply water based inks (usually from my brush pens) then mix them around and stamp them on the paper. the only thing with that is you have to watch the amount of water otherwise the colors will run too much
Get the Tom bow mono zero eraser instead of using the small eraser in a pencil. I used to use that pencil too but once I tried the mono zero eraser I’ll never use another again. Thanks for video, want to order that powder looks beautiful.
The brusho powders are gorgeous:) I have the tombow eraser on my wish list, I haven't seen it anywhere near me but I'm looking out for it to test out:)
Great video!! Yes, I’m interested in the pigment powder and more about using stamps with acrylic blocks. What kind of backgrounds can you make? Wood, water, clouds, different textures?
So quick update. There's been a bit of confusion about the correct name for the silicone brushes - as far as I know they are called silicone brushes but they are called different names by different companies - here's a link to the ones I bought: www.amazon.co.uk/Meta-U-Shapers-Silicone-Brushes-Flexible/dp/B01J9IUAVC/
Why have I never heard of a pencil extender?! I have needed this in my life so much. The cramps in my hands from holding the tiny pieces of pencil was horrid.
The kneaded eraser sounds good for the “line art” idk what to call it cause I’m just looking at traditional drawing XD but I found out light boards basically you can put the sketch there and tape another paper on top to line out your art
One fun thing about tortillons and kneadable erasers is that once they get really dirty, you can use them as drawing tools! As for the eraser pencil, I’m not a big fan of those because, as you said, they don’t erase very well, but I also find the eraser rather rough and it can damage or discolor paper. I use General’s Factis mechanical eraser (formerly known as the Paper Mate Tuff Stuff eraser), and it’s MAGNIFICENT. You can erase very fine details, and they last for a long time before you need to buy refills.
i don´t know why but at 3:18 where you spray water on with the color powder or what is was called, i found it odly satisfying and i have watch this video about 10 times just to see that. It was just super beutiful how the colors appered on the paper
@@WindyIris well it depends on how how press down. But as always you switch with pressure . So the straw gets weaken up a bit. I then take normal tape (or duck tape) to increase the stability of the straw. But I figured that if you cut the straw just a bit it gets stronger too. With all that duck tape the pencil really looks messy but I figured that it works just as well. :)
This is so interesting, I haven’t seen kneadable erasers used that way before! And I’ve never heard of some of these tools, I’ll look into those myself!
Those silicone brushes are great as bleanders for graphite too. I used them instead of paper blenders as I can't handle the sound they made. The rubber tips are amazing but there is a learning curve as they really move the graphite a lot.
Are the sponge daubers easy to clean? About how long do they last before you have to replace them? Another great thing about kneadable erasers and paper stumps is that once they get really dirty, you can actually draw with them! Have you ever tried chamois? Also great for softening and lightening graphite marks (or for drawing with once it gets filthy)...since it is an animal product though, some people shy away from using it. Finally...General makes a eraser pencil that’s sort of a clicky, mechanical-pencil style (only with a long skinny tube of eraser rubber inside instead of lead), and I find that it erases much better than the Faber-Castell eraser pencil. It’s called the “Factis Mechanical Eraser”, and I love mine! Been using it for more than 10 years now, and the rubber inside lasts a surprisingly long time (but buying refills is still a good idea, LOL). It’s also great for traveling with, because you can retract the eraser back into the barrel, and it won’t get dingy inside your pencil pouch.
A puddy eraser isn't ment to pick up all the pigment it's ment to leave a guide when you sketch something for a painting or marker or colored pencil so the graphite doesn't mix with the media
Thank 😊 u that's a great help.ive just discovered ur cool channel, I was wondering whats the best tool to draw before painting?pencils always show through.thanks.
How haven't I ever thought about using my color shapers with masking fluid? 💁😮🎨Thanks so much for this tip, it was really useful! Among my top 10 supplies , I would include my Tombow Zero erasers for details, Zest-it for blending colouring pencils and my manual desktop sharpener. 😃
I just bought a Tombow eraser a couple of weeks back or so. It's wonderful in bringing out tiny highlights in graphite. I also bought some time ago a Faber-Castell double eraser pencil. The white side erases graphite, and the pink side erases colored pencil (to a degree) and ink. I really like this pencil eraser because it can be sharpened to a fine point for bringing out highlights like the Tombow eraser does. I also have a mechanical pencil type of eraser that is about as big as an average female's pinky. That's very handy, too. Of course the kneaded eraser is spectacular and so is a black eraser for charcoal.
Hack for pencil extenders: Get some pretty paper staws (you can use plastic but paper ones are prettier) fill shaw with hot glue sticks and glue your pencil inside. I use straws cause they look pretty but you can just glue the un melted glue stick to the end
Hey, great video. I will dedinitely use some of these tips and techniques that i dont already do. Quick question: what was the powder you were using with the spray bottle? That was so cool! I would love to see a video on that!
LYRA makes the best kneadable eraser.It's the only product,that LYRA makes better than Faber Castell. For example, it can make do a better job on detail erasing or applying detailed or sharper highlights, than Faber Castell kneadable. It comes in a similar square plastic box,which is smaller but thicker (taller) than the Faber Castell one.
The white eraser pen just for ink used on transparent paper :) that's why it's so scratchy. There is also a pink one which is much softer and better for normal paper!
Ooooo.....it was fun Can you do a video on coffee painting......Please.......I am trying it nowadays .....but not getting good results......So please....and also some techniques of water colours...Please....I want your help and inspiration..............PLEASE...
I did a watercolor painting video a couple of weeks back, there are some different techniques in that. I would like to make a coffee paining video at some point:)
For eraser pencils, koh-i-noor is a better brand than fabercastell imo. Also i've come to really depend on needle syringes for maintaining my art supplies, especially if you're into using refillable pens like rotrings or fountain pens for drawing.
They're good tips Nicolle - I'll have to check out the koh-i-noor eraser. I love all of faber castell's products, just I find the eraser pencil a bit scratchy:)
The pencil extender works better in the long run though. If you're using it a lot, the tape will come off and is not as sturdy. If you're just needing a once in a while solution, then yes using tape could work well but I think for anyone who uses pencils a lot, then the pencil extender is much more sturdy:)
Hi, is it possible for you to post an exact link to that particular pencil sharpener? It’s just so cool - I’ve never seen an adjustable size one like that. How fantastic! But yeah, do you have an exact link for that? 💖 from Australia 🇦🇺
Hi Melinda, here's a AU Amazon link to the pencil sharpener. It's not an affiliate link and I hope its helpful. The sharpener is pretty cool:) www.amazon.com.au/KUTSUWA-Adjustable-Pencil-Sharpener-RS017BK/dp/B006CQW342
They're called Brusho crystal colours and I bought mine of Amazon. They are made in the UK so I don't know how widely available they are around the world:)
Momento is a good stamping ink and ranger also makes a nice stamping ink pad as well. The ranger ink is waterproof and the momento inks are good for using with markers, so it depends what would work best for you. There are others but these are the two I've tried:)
It's interesting how differently artists work, what you find really useful I'll never use. :)
Yes it just depends how you like working:)
@@WindyIris how much$
& I want to see Rainbow
I made my pencil extenders myself with the bodies from old markers, my family loved them!
That sounds really cool:)
Another way to get that splatery, mixed media affect is by replacing the acrylic block with a clear, plastic folder :)
Yes that would work as well:)
I did that in school. My teacher thought I was crazy
Katie 9 3/4 youmcould also use a plastic bag
I've never even heard of a pencil extender!! I NEED one of those!
Katie 9 3/4 same lol
They are so useful if you work with pencils alot:)
Katie 9 3/4 dont buy derwent theyre overpriced for a pencil extender, get kuelox instead it does the exact same thing but way cheaper i got mine for $1 only
Elisa Shay thanks for the info! 😄❤
Katie 9 3/4 no probs, kirsty patridge uses the same pencil extender :)

Are there lidls/aldis in the uk and US? I always thought they were a german/austrian brand
Yes we have aldi + lidl in the uk. You can also use a run out ball point pen for scoring paper.
When I found out you had one of them silicone brushes I was strangely relieved.

I love watching the powders intensify and the colours burst onto the paper - I'm planning to make a whole video on using them soon:)
It reminded me of watching fireworks. Bursting sprays of colors everywhere
What is the name of the powder?
I always use a thick straw to extend my pencils. Symply cut a little gap with scissors in them and put them on your pencils.
That's a cool trick. How long does the straw last? I can't imagine it would be very heavy duty for long coloring sessions:)
@@WindyIris well it depends on how how press down. But as always you switch with pressure . So the straw gets weaken up a bit.

For eraser pencils, koh-i-noor is a better brand than fabercastell imo. Also i've come to really depend on needle syringes for maintaining my art supplies, especially if you're into using refillable pens like rotrings or fountain pens for drawing.
They're good tips Nicolle - I'll have to check out the koh-i-noor eraser. I love all of faber castell's products, just I find the eraser pencil a bit scratchy:)
So useful thank you for uploading this
Thank you for watching Karina:)
Does the putty eraser dry out?
What is the name or brand of the watercolor powders you showed?

The marker she uses every time is air brush and those are so cool
Yes the air brush is pretty cool - I love using it to add some splatter details:)

the pencil extender is not jus fully you can tape the little pencil on a large pencil or a marker
The pencil extender works better in the long run though. If you're using it a lot, the tape will come off and is not as sturdy. If you're just needing a once in a while solution, then yes using tape could work well but I think for anyone who uses pencils a lot, then the pencil extender is much more sturdy:)
is it possible to use silicone brushes/pens with acrilic paint or tempera?
What's tempera?
What are the size of the silicone brush?
Hi, is it possible for you to post an exact link to that particular pencil sharpener? It’s just so cool - I’ve never seen an adjustable size one like that. How fantastic! But yeah, do you have an exact link for that? 💖 from Australia 🇦🇺
Hi Melinda, here's a AU Amazon link to the pencil sharpener. It's not an affiliate link and I hope its helpful. The sharpener is pretty cool:) www.amazon.com.au/KUTSUWA-Adjustable-Pencil-Sharpener-RS017BK/dp/B006CQW342
What u are using with silicone brushes
the masking fluid tip is amazing, my paintbrushes will thank you
Happy to help:)
Where did you get those powder colors? It looks awesome!!
They're called Brusho crystal colours and I bought mine of Amazon. They are made in the UK so I don't know how widely available they are around the world:)
Thankyou very helpful
Hi, great video! Which ink is the best to get for stamping with please? Is there a way to make stamping ink?
Momento is a good stamping ink and ranger also makes a nice stamping ink pad as well. The ranger ink is waterproof and the momento inks are good for using with markers, so it depends what would work best for you. There are others but these are the two I've tried:)
I love your channel~💓
Thanks:)
My favorite store/art store the Walmart 😁
You can use blue tac for the kneaded eraser
That's a cool tip, thanks for sharing:)
