Wow. Who knew an 8-minute video on pencil sharpening could be so satisfying to watch. Thanks! You've completely convinced me this is the way to start sharpening my pencils.
big thanks on this video. i was always breaking the pencils when trying to sharpen with a blade. I think the big thing i learned in this video is not to move the hand that holds the blade. And that makes sense.
Omg ! I just did it too 😮 and the pencil broke so i tried twice but then i searched in youtube and saved myself if i didn't search iam sure the pencil would have had been broken
FYI and to help with your teaching explanation, when sharpening the pencil, the type of cut you are performing is a "push cut". It is used often in spoon carving.
I'm new to charcoal renderings so I purchased nitram starter set...the extender doesn't hold the charcoal enclosed...Nitram does packaging well. So I would forgo that sander and use common plasters' sanding product...it's sandpaper on a mesh so you can save the charcoal Powder for the art work.
thank u so much. because i just got a whole set of pencils and i had charcoal. and they did give me a box cutter. but now i can do the charcoal pencil because i didn’t know thank you.
I became worried when I was sharpening it with a SHARPENER 😔 Good thing a friend of mine that I use a knife or a cutter and I went to search and I was happy for the results 😍😍
The first time i tried this, i used a new blade and ended up cutting my thumb deeply. I can't even type with it because it hurts still, lol. I bled for almost an hour. Be safe, yall.
I didnt have problem with sharpening pencil but once i decided its a smart thing to scrape some old nail polish with a razor blade and long story short i gauged it into the nail bed it hurted like a b**ch even tho the cut was tiny
careful that happened to me i was sharpening an charcol pencil i was a begginer so my thumb was pressing on the back of the blade and i cut my thumb so be caeful when sharpening theres more to worry than just getting the charcoal tip broken you can get injured
I sharpen my colored pencils with a blade, pastel pencils, wc pencils and have trouble of all things with the Derwent 24 color charcoal pencils. They can't be bought seperately so I can't expose gobs of charcoal it just breaks so I am careful. With willow sticks and so forth or shades of darker/lighter values I feel that is more important to use the length. And I sharpen mine to relax too. Funny.
My Hero!!Thank you for sharing this video. Only 2 times my top broke, so the pencil is very short now cause I had to start all over again😂 But it was a cheap pencil, so that's np. I used everytime a normal pencil sharpener and the coal broke everytime. But now I know how to sharpen my charcoals🥳 Whoohoo👍
"This is your time to relax". I'm freaking out with a knife in my hand. No amount of work in the kitchen can prepare me for moving the knife towards the fingers of my other hand.
Sir what's inside the charcoal pencil in the casing. On the brand "Generals", there's a plastic inside the lead. I thought I sharpen it wrong. Does all charcoal pencil have this kind of feature? I've been using charcoal pencil for the first and I love the effect on the tone. It's just like using a black color pencil and black pencils with 6b or 8b grades 😁❣️👍🍩☕😄🎱
you sound just like JP from awaken with JP!! lol, I couldn't figure it out till the end of the video.... and thanks for helping me know how to sharpen my charcoal. ;)
I just searched for vids of ppl drawing with charcoal pencils and no one has them so point like yours lol. doing this with soft charcoal pencil can be dangerous, hard ones are better for that kind of point.
@@Heavycakes yeah just bought a pencil charcoal and I sharp it with a sharpener. And it keeps on breaking. I had to stop when it already reach half through the pencil
