Helpful video. It's always useful for me to see artists experimenting with materials and explaining their thought-processes.

[@UnmaskArt]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jimmygarcia3068]

Wow, 5 years later....i just recently watched on Netflix a great movie titled "All the Light We Cannot See".....Great info

[@SpiritualArtbySheldene]

Lol!!! I’ve totally converted to sanded paper!!! Glad you got to see it’s magic :)

[@ginarhodes5556]

Sheldene Fine Art Drawing Tutorials wow my two favorite tutorial artists right here :)

[@johnwaldin7426]

[@redsands1001]

i have sanded paper for soft pastels and i saw some brands listing for use with colored pencils so this is good to know

[@vaultgirl3574]

I found your channel when I was looking for blending tutorial. Then I found out your amazing love story... I shed a tear while watching videos of you and your wife. Thank you for it. Greetings from Katowice! :)

[@UnmaskArt]

My wife and I live in Katowice too ^_^ Perhaps we'll run into each other. If you see us, don't be afraid to say "Hi"

[@vaultgirl3574]

If you see smiling person that will be me :))) hope you enjoy our country and you feel well here. Greetings and thank you for your tutorials. I've learnt a lot.

[@goldpig1964]

Thanks! I've been thinking about trying the sanded papers.

[@heidid2346]

Thank you for your reply about the “back tracing”. I deleted my question because in listening longer you pretty much answered my question just a few minutes later. I guess I was just a bit impatient 😊. I recently found your videos and am enjoying your explanations and the details you give that I haven’t heard in other videos. Please keep them coming. I’m learning a lot.

[@UnmaskArt]

I hope to continue for a long time :)

[@kimrichmond6308]

Thanks - I learned so much today,subscribed and look forward to watch your other tutorials.

[@karenhasenpflug4896]

They make uart in black. It's pretty new.

[@UnmaskArt]

Cool.

[@karenhasenpflug4896]

Also uart 800 is almost too fine to hold colored pencil. Try 500 or 600.

[@shirleyoates3112]

In comparison using sanded paper and coloured pencils which blending technique do you prefer ? From viewing other videos using the brush & pencil seems a lot quicker to achieve very similar results !

[@kathleenconrad65]

The Uart sanded paper is also available in black, according to The Colored Pencil magazine. But I have not been able to find a supplier.

[@pamelagreen2704]

Uart Paper Comes in Black. 800 Grit

[@karenrichardson6767]

Do not use mineral spirits on sanded paper as it is not absorbent.With polychromos ,lay down pigment with the side of the pencil doing a light covering and then use pen and pencil powder blender. Spray with workable fixatif,let dry and repeat.

[@UnmaskArt]

Using a solvent is a perfectly acceptable technique on sanded paper.

[@karenhasenpflug4896]

You can use a light box with the sanded paper you might have to turn out your room lights depending how thick your reference photo is.

[@UnmaskArt]

I see, ok. Thanks.

[@TheGypsygirl809]

Colored pencils are new to me and i;m not sure what solvent your using. Does it have a name.

[@UnmaskArt]

Zest-it. But you can use any form of odorless solvent. It's sold in nearly ever art store.

[@Vengurl09]

what thinner are you using?

[@UnmaskArt]

Zest-It

[@juul7737]

You have to use more pigment, more layers and then it will be ok

[@karenrichardson6767]

use less pigment,polychromos pencils and powder blender.

[@SheasBathLab]

I'm going to save a little money and buy actual sandpaper

[@jaime20k]

Lol!!!!!!!!!

[@jdemaestri4300]

With all due respect, I wish you would share what color pencils you are using and when you are using them.Also I just want to hear about colored pencils stuff, I don’t tune in to hear about movies etc,that for me is a waste of time.

[@UnmaskArt]

Well, this isn't a tutorial it's a journal where I chat with my viewers and talk about my life. That's why I call it's called "Drawing Journal"
