I've been doing this for a few years now. I also keep all my charcoal shavings for the same reason. It really is a neat way of working with graphite etc

I am a big fan of using paintbrushes for fading pencil/shading. It gives a nice shade and you can controle it better than with a chamois. I prefer to use watercolour brushes since the brush is softer and gives a smoother effect.

Its a pencil. Its wrapped in tape because its pure lead so i don't get any on my fingers when im using it. Its a 6b pencil and you can find it in your local art store. Its great for covering large areas because its large size.

I can't figure out what the photo on the left of this column, above the video screen, is intened to depict.

It looks like a stick wrapped in some kind of tape, but I don't see any text that relates to it.

What am I missing?

I'm an art school grad, though with your tutorials, you've helped me more in my drawing ability than any of the schooling. I have to admit that I tried and tried to come up with a tool, as you had, with which to 'etch/scratch' out hair and fur........and after much frustration, I came up with something that you may want to check out- a set of tiny crochet hooks (they vary in size, and I've come to use the very top, which is sharp, yet smooth...instead of the 'crook' that yarn crocheters use to stitch.) Thank you so much for sharing your talents...
