Quick and dirty guide to pencils: the harder the lead (hb, and lower number b) the lighter the graphite appears, the easier it is to erase, and the less easy it is to blend/smudge. Softer leads are the opposite of all of the above. Also, something handy to know is if you need to go dark with a pencil, you should never just press as hard as you can with a pencil-go to a softer lead instead. If you press to hard to try and go darker than the pencil really can, it’ll damage the paper and also make the graphite appear shiny ^^ have fun with the new supplies :D
megasaguaro Thank you so much! Bought a pack of pencils a long time ago but never used then because I had no idea what the difference was. Too lazy to look it up so this is perfect 😂 Thanks again!
The art stumps are commonly called tortillions and realism pencil/graphite artists use them to get a smooth texture instead of leaving the scratchy pencil or using your finger which has oils and isn't good for the art.
I'm a graphic designer. Because I design all day long, I don't feel like drawing anymore. Watching your videos makes me happy and inspires me to try to draw again. I need a lot of practice (I'm basically a beginner again), but thank you for inspiring me.
I love that you drew freckles on the shoulders, I’ve always been insecure about the freckles on my shoulders and that kinda made me feel better. *edit 1 year later* I never realized so many people liked and commented! thank you for all the kind replies :,)
Awww no, please dont feel bad about your adorable shoulder freckles!! I love freckles and have always been jealous of people who have them (i have a few on my nose and cheeks and thats it ) Your freckles are beautiful and make you who you are!! You are amazing and I love you
Sorry if this is creepy, but.. I find freckles attractive. And anybody that is lucky enough to have shoulder freckles..I'm kinda jealous XD you shouldn't feel bad about your shoulder freckles. They're cute and you're beautiful ^^ (again sorry if that sounds creepy)
My comment will probably get drowned buuut I thought I’d toss it out there anyway. The blending stump aka tortillion is useful for smooth shading like you’d see in more realism based pieces. 3 quick tips for using tortillions: 1. Tortillions are basically useless with colored pencils (your better off with a blender specifically designed for colored pencils) 2. For your tortillion to be of the most use I recommend reading up on the differences in graphite pencils such as hardness (H) and boldness (B) harder lead leaves a lighter line that smudges less like a 4H and softer bold lead leaves a darker line that has more movability like a 4B, you can build up various pencils for smooth realistic shading and use the tortillion to blend it, it’s a process and can be frustrating. 3. Finally, tortillions get gross pretty quickly as they pick up a ton of graphite (this can be useful in some instances just experiment with it clean and coated), if you want to experiment with them a lot you can get them in various sizes and buy a sandpaper block at your local art store (it’s literally just multiple small sheets of sandpaper stapled together) the sandpaper blocks are used to “shave” or “sharpen” away the tortillion to give you a clean surface to work with. One last bonus tip related to working with graphite pencils and not tortillions specifically, to avoid smudging your page or the side of your hand becoming covered in graphite try using a blank piece of scrap paper and resting your hand on that so it creates a barrier between your hand and the paper your drawing on. You can move it around as necessary. Personally, I love your art style I watch your videos with my 5 year old, she really takes a ton of inspiration from your work. It would be interesting to see you try out smooth shading techniques as that’s vastly different from your usual style.
@@thebookdragonmom it smudges if you move piece of paper while pressing it against the drawing. Also, the sweat and oils on our hands smudges way more than a fresh and dry piece
That was my biggest fear when I got started drawing, and I agree, my drawings have gotten a lot better since I started to. As long as you don't start too dark, as you can always build layers to darker, but it's harder to make it lighter.
Just a tip (we do this in my drawing class) when you use mineral spirits with a stump and use prisma colored pencils it blends really well you can also blend well with oil pastels and to clean your stump you use sandpaper and with mineral spirits a little goes goes a long way
Your channel has been a huge inspiration to me! I'm almost exclusively a digital artist so, when my computer died about two months ago, I was lost since it had been over 3 years when I last used pencils. Watching your videos and listening to your commentary really helped me get back into traditional drawing and I even bought a few new supplies from these monthly box videos! Now that my computer is fixed, I still want to draw traditional whenever I can. Thank you for helping me have fun drawing again! 💕
A boy way back in middle School tried to steal my kneaded eraser every day at lunch. He would get so mad when I told him to stop and start yelling how it was just poster putty, I could buy more. (By that logic, he could go buy his own, nevermind that it wasn't actually poster tack.) He finally got the hint when I shoved a spork into the top of his hand. He tried to get me in trouble, but it backfired when he was dumb enough to admit that he was trying to steal from me when it happened. Yeah, he was not bright . . . Seriously, is it just a thing that people think kneaded erasers are poster tack/blu tac?
@@drawingwiffwaffles I got the palletful pack (just a less expensive teir) and they gave me a small sketchbook too. The little paper you get says the point of that sketchbook is to carey with you everywhere to draw everyday
Whenever waffles uploads a video, I stop whatever I'm doing. Nothing else is important even when I'm drawing for myself *update Doggo was upset so I had to pat dog while watching this video
i love how authentic your videos are! we really get to go through the entire expeierence of trying to draw certain things and picking out poses with you it makes it a lot more real i love it
You’re my art inspiration. It’s absolutely stunning, I’m honestly so blown away, especially by your traditional pieces like this. It’s very beautiful and so pleasant to look at. You’re mixture of fluidity and anatomy are perfect.
This is me all the time. Me: if you tubers can do it, why can’t I? They just have a camera and a bit of experience! *as soon as I draw a circle* Me: I think I’m done for today 😭😅
I dont know if you feel the same way to this day but what helps me the most in drawing is, references, cant draw that hand, get a reference, need some clothing ideas, references, need to draw a certain pose use references. Then slowly after you know how proportions work and how the human body bends maybe you can design your own character or just use references.
I'm laughing so hard, that girl is literally ME IRL like: I have curly hair that length, freckles, my eyebrows look like that, I love roses, I have a shirt like that, AAAAA
Hello waffles! You're such an inspiration to me! I really enjoy art, and watching your videos encourages me to keep drawing! Also, just bought a kneaded eraser an hour ago and you are so right! They are the best!
I've been binge watching your videos for a few weeks now as I try to reignite my love for art. I was so excited about this box because I love graphite, but your illustration brought me to TEARS!! The curls... the freckles... She looks like me!! You didn't seem excited about this box, but your work touched me so deeply. Thank you!!
I'm new to your channel and I have fallen in love. I'm jumping all around your timeline using whatever RUclips is recommending next. My favorite thing is when you go from "*gasp* yesss they have brush pens!!" (Future you) to "I really don't like brush pens. My hands are too shaky" (past you). Seeing your transformation, even in just the past couple of months, is so cool and inspiring to me. Thank you so much for making these videos
I’ve just started illustration and I’m kinda struggling, so I’ve been watching your videos as I draw, it helps me see how to draw the eyes and nose (I suck at noses) and it’s really helping me!!! Thank you so much waffles!
Monkey Doodles I just impulsively put my hand up to my face too and, also, despite the confirmation implied in this comment, was surprised to find it was in fact the same size 😆
I have not finished the video yet I paused it so I could come down here real quick. I just wanted to say how crazy it is the different paths that artists take. When you said you've never used a blending stump my jaw dropped for a second. My portraits would be so choppy without them. But then I was thinking that your art is always so different from mine and beautiful. You do crazy things I would never think of. I love watching your videos
I love how your art style is evolving. You keep getting better and better. You’re one of my biggest inspirations cuz I can see you grow while I grow as an artist too and I feel like I can make it cuz of you.
Hey Rin/waffles! I started drawing again after a long time of self doubt and hating my art. I am happy to say that I have improved so much and I am happy with my art now! You are a *HUGE* inspiration! Thanks so much!, Emily
The oils on your skin can make a piece of artwork to last less (when u try to blend with your finger), but using the blending stump helps make the art work last longer because there r no oils applied
And if you mix media you can vet into other issues, some stuff, like watercolour, will not apply well where there is oil. I still sometimes use my fingers to blend when I'm certain not to use other supplies because I don't really care about longevity of my pencil drawing, but it is definitely good to be aware.
everytime you draw, i think of a story for a character (i like them even more after that). this one is my favorite though bc she is pretty and story is simple. she reminds me of persephonie and i know that rose is flower of aphrodite but maybe persephonie created it and this is a process (that's why she's not holding it)... maybe next time you could try to draw someone from India or something... i would love your interpretation :) i like your art very much, luv you
This video helped me realize how enjoyable it is to see everything swatched before it's used in a drawing or painting. I look forward to that more than what is in the box. Like, what will that art supply look like swatches, no matter if you nought it or it was sent to you. 🤗❤️👍🏽💯
i really hope you realize how therapeutic watching your videos are when you are having a rough night and can't sleep. I literally love your videos so much.🥺❣️
I really like how your drawing turned out! I'm trying to get more comfortable with drawing people right now. Oh, who am I kidding? I'm just struggling with drawing in general. 😆
I’ve been subscribed for two years now, and I do not remember when this came out but this is my art style and what I livvvvvee for! How did I never see this??
Hello, I'm not trying to hate because I love your personality and art...I just can't hear you, even with my volume all the way up on my phone or laptop. To me I would watch your videos so much more if I could hear them.....and I'm sure in real life you have a soft voice. And the music it a good volume. I just want to hear more of your funny jokes and bubbly personality:)
valid username Me too! I could barely hear her with my volume all the way up-I even went on another video of hers to check and I could hear it just fine. I had to put on headphones AND turn down my fan. Which, normally I have my ac running and can hear her just fine.
your art is so, so lovely and inclusive -- you never stick to drawing one specific type of girl, they're all varying types of shapes and colors. you encourage me to draw more all the time!!!
It feels like this box would be great to give to somebody who wants to start drawing or shows an interest in art. It has pencils, erasers, paper, blenders, and a sharpener.
So I wanted to get an art subscription box but I don't know if to get Scrawlrbox or Paletteful. They both seem like really good options thanks to your videos (which by the way are AMAZING AND I LOVE THEM SO MUCH YOU ARE MY FAVOURITE RUclipsR). So yeah, which one should I get?
I've been debating the same thing too! From what I've seen Scrawlrbox is cheaper(even with shipping) and Palletfull has no shipping fee to the US. What I've also noticed is that although, they both give you paper/canvas to use, Palletfull Pack gives you pads/notebooks of paper most of the time when Scrawlrbox just gives you samples! Also Palletfull Pack has 3 box options. I think it just mostly comes down to preference and how much you wanna splurge on it!
@@botricescoloa7519 oooo, that sucks :/ you mind me asking like why it was disappointing? (I've been leaning more towards the scrawlrbox anyways tho 😶)
as soon as I saw the art stumps I started chanting (in my head😂) “aRT STUMP ART STUMP ART STUMP” idk why probs since I finally know what something is on here
Hi. I just now subscribed. Its almost 1am and that's normal for me. I take care of my parents, 79 & 82. Mom has Alzheimer's, so sleep is interrupted. Often. Not complaining, I'm so glad I can do this. Just rambling. I love your videos so much. So fun and at the same time, soothing. You are so talented. Just wanted to say hi and tell you how much I enjoy your videos!
i know i’m late but it would’ve been so cool to incorporate the robot arms because it’s like a space girl of some kind seeing wildlife for the first time lol what am i talking about
I would really like to know how you don’t smear the pencil led, that is one of the problems I have when drawing. I always get the led all over the side of my hand and smear it all over my drawing. How do you draw without smearing the entire picture.
Craft and Create late reply, but you draw “away” from your hand. So like if you’re right handed, you draw from left to right. If you’re left handed, right to left. Also, always work top to bottom. To summarize, draw in a way so you’re not putting your hand over/on top of the artwork
This is my fav art channel because of the art and the commentary! Keep up the good work. Can you please make a video for tips with faces and hands and everything
Blending stomps are my best friend for noses! One thin, wide triangle point facing down in softer graphite, blending stomp to blend an oval sitting on the flat edge of the triangle, two parentheses for the sides of the nose, two reverse [)(] parentheses for the nostrils, and boom, a nose has been created. Super easy! I suck at noses, so that helped me soooo much.
there are so many to choose from now. I'm giving away the box I opened last week still, you've got 2 hours left to enter if youre interested in that. drawingwiffwaffles.com/giveaway/
Every time I watch your videos it inspires me to draw more. And I love to study your artwork to help me figure out how to draw something. And I love your art stile

Really helpful tips! Though I do like it when graphite looks shiny because i'm actually a magpie or something... ROFL
Yeah, shiny texture can look good on some drawings, but it's important to know! :D
You can also get plenty of pencils harder than HB, and the letters themselves tell you what type of pencil they are. H is hard and B is black

The art stumps are commonly called tortillions and realism pencil/graphite artists use them to get a smooth texture instead of leaving the scratchy pencil or using your finger which has oils and isn't good for the art.
actually oils for your body are good for your art
thanks for the background! I'm a complete noob when it comes to tortillions as you can see. hehe
In high school we would fold/roll tissues for shading and I find that worked better then these stick things
@@drawingwiffwaffles thanks! I dont know what kind you used in this video but I like the rice ones
Oof I always just use my finger even though I have some tortillions

3 quick tips for using tortillions:
1. Tortillions are basically useless with colored pencils (your better off with a blender specifically designed for colored pencils)
2. For your tortillion to be of the most use I recommend reading up on the differences in graphite pencils such as hardness (H) and boldness (B) harder lead leaves a lighter line that smudges less like a 4H and softer bold lead leaves a darker line that has more movability like a 4B, you can build up various pencils for smooth realistic shading and use the tortillion to blend it, it’s a process and can be frustrating.
3. Finally, tortillions get gross pretty quickly as they pick up a ton of graphite (this can be useful in some instances just experiment with it clean and coated), if you want to experiment with them a lot you can get them in various sizes and buy a sandpaper block at your local art store (it’s literally just multiple small sheets of sandpaper stapled together) the sandpaper blocks are used to “shave” or “sharpen” away the tortillion to give you a clean surface to work with.
One last bonus tip related to working with graphite pencils and not tortillions specifically, to avoid smudging your page or the side of your hand becoming covered in graphite try using a blank piece of scrap paper and resting your hand on that so it creates a barrier between your hand and the paper your drawing on. You can move it around as necessary.
Personally, I love your art style I watch your videos with my 5 year old, she really takes a ton of inspiration from your work. It would be interesting to see you try out smooth shading techniques as that’s vastly different from your usual style.

That girl has fingers from "Scream". LOL! As a beginner artist, it's good to see that even professionals struggle sometimes. Great piece! TFS!
everytime you draw, i think of a story for a character (i like them even more after that). this one is my favorite though bc she is pretty and story is simple. she reminds me of persephonie and i know that rose is flower of aphrodite but maybe persephonie created it and this is a process (that's why she's not holding it)...
maybe next time you could try to draw someone from India or something... i would love your interpretation :) i like your art very much, luv you
Your so good at drawing!!!
I want to get back into drawing because of you 💖
Edit: OMG SHE REPLIED 🥺🥰😭
Thanks Georgia! That means a lot!
Aw
Same here lol even though I draw very horribly lol
Sameee
I know. She is so inspiring!
This video helped me realize how enjoyable it is to see everything swatched before it's used in a drawing or painting. I look forward to that more than what is in the box. Like, what will that art supply look like swatches, no matter if you nought it or it was sent to you. 🤗❤️👍🏽💯
i really hope you realize how therapeutic watching your videos are when you are having a rough night and can't sleep. I literally love your videos so much.🥺❣️
I really like how your drawing turned out! I'm trying to get more comfortable with drawing people right now. Oh, who am I kidding? I'm just struggling with drawing in general. 😆
same girl same
Everytime she sees a kneaded eraser: *HUH, MY BABY*
Hey Waffles! It’s Me just want too say please keep up the good work (and that rose looks amazing 👍🏾)
Watching her discover the different grades of pencils and the blending stuff was really cute to watch as someone who works primarily with those tools
I’ve been subscribed for two years now, and I do not remember when this came out but this is my art style and what I livvvvvee for! How did I never see this??
Hello, I'm not trying to hate because I love your personality and art...I just can't hear you, even with my volume all the way up on my phone or laptop. To me I would watch your videos so much more if I could hear them.....and I'm sure in real life you have a soft voice. And the music it a good volume. I just want to hear more of your funny jokes and bubbly personality:)
I second that request to clean up the audio. My preference would be to lose the music totally.
No idea what you were saying half the time.
Headphones meh dood
Agreed
valid username Me too! I could barely hear her with my volume all the way up-I even went on another video of hers to check and I could hear it just fine. I had to put on headphones AND turn down my fan.
Which, normally I have my ac running and can hear her just fine.
Strange thing but Headphones or Earbuds actually work much better!! Its a BIT hard to hear her without them but when theyre on its just fine
I really wish I knew how to draw beautiful hands like you.
And also if u don't want dem sketchbooks u can always call me 🤙 I got you fam 💁🏾
I lost my kneaded eraser ;-;
My child has left me.
RIP
Same but i just bought a Faber Castell one at my local art store, they were on sale :D
Same *cries*
Same. I had to replace mah boi ;-;
CinnamonLlama ikr
your art is so, so lovely and inclusive -- you never stick to drawing one specific type of girl, they're all varying types of shapes and colors. you encourage me to draw more all the time!!!
Blending stumps are my favorite item for pencil drawings. They help so much with shading. I love them.
I loved watching you draw this! Now I feel like drawing something as well, but I have no time today. 🙁
2:31 I LOVE unboxing ASMR..😊
I use pencil sets to do realism. Its one of my favorite mediums... I also like to use charcoal for realism its just so fun and easy to learn
ugh thank you, I find your voice so soothing. its almost therapeutic, I love you
that hair looks awesome omg. the different types of pencils created such a cool look
I love your nails!
Thank you! ❤️
Dam it’s a good box set..
Sketch practice for dayz!! (x
Lucky 🍀
Ur the best RUclipsr in the world 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It feels like this box would be great to give to somebody who wants to start drawing or shows an interest in art. It has pencils, erasers, paper, blenders, and a sharpener.
Ugh I just love her personality and art work so much how is she a real person 😂 she sounds so nice and she’s so talented too
"I just love curly hair"
Me: MY FAVORITE YOU TUBER LIKES CURLY HAIR
(I have curly hair☺️)
Same!!❤😂
Hi waffles ily 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
💜💜💜
DrawingWiffWaffles 💜💜💜💜
I should look up a reference
*draws rose perfectly*
I didn’t even need the reference
*me: =o*
Watching you draw is so satisfying to me. I just can't get enough!
This is my favourite thing that you have ever drawn and I have been watching you for a little over a year
She sounds a lot like LaurenzSide xD they even share the favourite colour purple, they could be sisters honestly haha
True soooooo tru3
Lin Alv omg i thought the exact same thing when i first started watching!
Omg I thought I was the only one they even have a dog
Like for a long time I thought they were the same person until I saw their dogs
More than 3 Pounds!? Wow!! I was sooo excited to see what was in there!!! 😁
Your art is lovely and would look beautiful on a set of Tarot or Oracle cards ^^
I think I made this a Saturday tradition! I literally wake up and watch your videos before starting my day 💜 it's very relaxing :)))
I primarily use pencils to shade and make my art so watching you use them made me really happy.
... I can't draw curly hair TwT which sucks because one of my characters have curly hair-
Betcha if you keep trying you'll figure it out. and use references! references are AMAZING!
@@drawingwiffwaffles but I've tried-! I end of making cotton candy- which looks delicious, but kind of not what I wanted ;w;
now I want some cotton candy. hahaha
@@drawingwiffwaffles I actually have some cotton candy 👌 xD
I can't draw curly hair and I HAVE curly hair.
Oh no!, you forgot the stem of the rose in the final drawing...
So I wanted to get an art subscription box but I don't know if to get Scrawlrbox or Paletteful. They both seem like really good options thanks to your videos (which by the way are AMAZING AND I LOVE THEM SO MUCH YOU ARE MY FAVOURITE RUclipsR). So yeah, which one should I get?
I've been debating the same thing too! From what I've seen Scrawlrbox is cheaper(even with shipping) and Palletfull has no shipping fee to the US. What I've also noticed is that although, they both give you paper/canvas to use, Palletfull Pack gives you pads/notebooks of paper most of the time when Scrawlrbox just gives you samples! Also Palletfull Pack has 3 box options.
I think it just mostly comes down to preference and how much you wanna splurge on it!
@@mothmanleon8986 i ordered a palettetul (petite) and i was kind of disappointed so i was thinking of now trying scrawlrbox
@@botricescoloa7519 oooo, that sucks :/ you mind me asking like why it was disappointing? (I've been leaning more towards the scrawlrbox anyways tho 😶)
I love seeing how much you’ve improved! That piece you did with all the supplies is incredible ❤️💕
The concept of not using a blending tool hurts my soul😭😭😭😭😭😭 I don’t know how you can live without it
as soon as I saw the art stumps I started chanting (in my head😂) “aRT STUMP ART STUMP ART STUMP” idk why probs since I finally know what something is on here
U are my fav artist
Nailil’s World same! I love her art sooo much ❤️
Essa Art I know she draws amazing
Is it just me or does that background music sound like Wii Sports music
Hi. I just now subscribed. Its almost 1am and that's normal for me. I take care of my parents, 79 & 82. Mom has Alzheimer's, so sleep is interrupted. Often. Not complaining, I'm so glad I can do this. Just rambling. I love your videos so much. So fun and at the same time, soothing. You are so talented. Just wanted to say hi and tell you how much I enjoy your videos!
Art stumps are absolutely fantastic help for fine detailed charcoal work to help smooth out line work and get rid of patchy looking spots in charcoal
i know i’m late but it would’ve been so cool to incorporate the robot arms because it’s like a space girl of some kind seeing wildlife for the first time lol
what am i talking about
Wait... Waffles are you a Trekkie too?!
I would really like to know how you don’t smear the pencil led, that is one of the problems I have when drawing. I always get the led all over the side of my hand and smear it all over my drawing. How do you draw without smearing the entire picture.
Craft and Create late reply, but you draw “away” from your hand. So like if you’re right handed, you draw from left to right. If you’re left handed, right to left. Also, always work top to bottom.
To summarize, draw in a way so you’re not putting your hand over/on top of the artwork
This is my fav art channel because of the art and the commentary! Keep up the good work. Can you please make a video for tips with faces and hands and everything
Blending stomps are my best friend for noses! One thin, wide triangle point facing down in softer graphite, blending stomp to blend an oval sitting on the flat edge of the triangle, two parentheses for the sides of the nose, two reverse [)(] parentheses for the nostrils, and boom, a nose has been created. Super easy! I suck at noses, so that helped me soooo much.
You forgot an art stump in the box
I want these box’s so bad I’m gonna probably save up. Just wondering which type of box you got.
there are so many to choose from now. I'm giving away the box I opened last week still, you've got 2 hours left to enter if youre interested in that. drawingwiffwaffles.com/giveaway/
Please do a How to draw eyes 👀
I could watch you draw all day. I absolutely love your style
Every time I watch your videos it inspires me to draw more. And I love to study your artwork to help me figure out how to draw something. And I love your art stile
