Description: In this video you'll learn the drawing pencils and other supplies I recommend to create realistic drawings. All this is available in my Pencil Kit called the "Creating Contrast and Texture Drawing Kit. When this video was done I included a DVD with the kit. Since most people don't have DVD players anymore, purchasers now get exclusive access to a video that contains all the info that was contained in the DVD. Go to: jdhillberry.com/drawing_kit2.htm to learn more. I'd also like to mention that my realistic drawing tutorials are now available here: jdhillberrytutorials.com This pencil kit has some great features to help you stay organized and contains everything I supply in my live drawing workshops. Here what is inside: (9) Kimberly Graphite drawing Pencils (9h, 6h, 2h, f, b, 4b, 6b, 8b) The widest range of graphite to help with the subtle shading necessary for realism. (1) Kimberly Graphite (9xxb) Special unique formula allows dark values with no graphite shine. (3) Primo Euro Blend Charcoal Pencils (hb, b, 3b) Smooth, Dark, Rich Charcoal for even darker areas and rougher textures not possible with graphite. (1) Primo Elite Grande Pencil The darkest charcoal I've ever found. This pencil allows extreme contrast to make your drawings "pop". (1) General's Charcoal Pencil Extra Hard (2h) The hardest charcoal I've ever found. Holds an extremely sharp point without breaking or crumbling. Without this pencil, it would be impossible to create the sharp focus realism I'm known for. (1) Carbon Sketch Pencil (Soft) Combines the smoothness of graphite with the deep rich blacks of charcoal. The hardness is approximately 4B. (1) Carbon (Hard) This new pencil from General's can hold a sharper point than the carbon sketch for more precise details in carbon. (1) Layout Pencil Perfect for getting your basic values down. Easily erasable, yet dark values are possible. (2) Blending Stumps High quality compressed paper stumps for blending graphite, charcoal, and carbon. (2) Tortiallions Perfect for blending extremely small areas. (1) Chamois Square Used for very soft, smooth blending and shading. Also perfect for lightening values. (1) Felt Square Used to create rougher textures through blending (1) General's Kneaded Eraser This eraser can be formed into any shape. Use it to keep your drawings clean and highlights bright. I also use it to gently lighten areas to adjust values and create textures. (1) General's Factis Magic Black Eraser This black eraser was formulated especially for charcoal. It does not smudge, cuts a clean edge and won't harm the paper. (1) Pen Style Vinyl Eraser This is an extremely important erasing tool I use to "cut back" into darker toned areas to make a clean white line. Excellent for rendering hair, wood, fabric and many other textures. It's like drawing with white. (1) General's Little Red All-Art Sharpener The same sharpeners we use in my live drawing workshops. Designed to sharpen charcoal, carbon, and graphite pencils without breaking and is able to sharpen the fatter pencils like the Elite Grande and the Carbon Sketch. (1) Sandpaper Paddle This is how I get my pencils to a needle sharp point when I need sharp edges and precise detail. You can also use it to collect charcoal or graphite powder to spread with one of the blenders.
