Using Faber-Castell Water-Soluble Graphite Pencils 

dear Colin, thank you so much! i just loved everything about this video. have that same set, will use it more self-confidently thanks to you. i am grateful for your enthusiasm, kindness and positivity. i don't know how you can keep it up, but i am forever grateful. in this world, in these times, you shine a light. you're doing great, please, keep it up!

Thanks for the videos. I like learning new techniques with new tools. Can you do some videos with gouache. You and Toby are great together. Thanks

I’ve had these pencils for ages, but I’ve never used them. I will definitely give them a go now. Thanks Colin.

Great inspiration. Can almost feel like I’m the one doing this. I have just swatched my Derwent Graphtint and Mixed Media set. Pretty sure I have this and a Prismacolor Graphite. Good to have this really excellent work to keep in mind for sketching and embellishing my tomorrows for working this medium with places of little color in my memory bank. Very good work. Thank you.

Please feel free to draw any reference images I post in the community section of the channel! Thanks for watching 😊

Thank you . Inspired to dig mine out

Great video! Inspiring, too! I didn't know about these water soluble graphites! Thank you for sharing.

I didn't know there was such a thing, it seems so good. Of course it's your beautiful drawing that shows it so well :)

Beautiful art! Great demo!❤ You made it easy to follow. I've seen these in the store, but I couldn't figure out how to use them. Now I'm inspired! Also, I'm going to get the pencil sharpener.

You’ve got to try the Faber castell albrecht durer watercolour pencils.

They also do a 14 b in their Matt pencils

This was so great to watch Colin. I've been thinking of buying water-soluble graphite pencils and I definitely will now. Thank you.

Thank you for showing me how to start using my water soluable pencils. Time to get brave.

Great video. I just discovered your channel, and im really enjoying your content . It's great to see a local artist.

Please ..the Shakespeare joke! Wonderful work,thank you.

Hi Colin, I really enjoyed your video today. This is my husbands you tube a/c. I like that you have an organised approach.

Loved the demonstration! Have you tried the Woodies? their crayons and so fun, also the stebello pencils. I’m hooked on them.

Colin thank you for reminding me that I have that exact set sitting in my drawer waiting to explore.

I really like this! I thought this was the set my friend gifted me, but no. It's the 9000 art set, not water soluble. Darn it.

I agree about the pencil sharpener! Another great video! Your exploration of all the different mediums are so great. Suggestions? Gouache. Such an unusual media. Sherry. Would ❤to put your drawing next to Toby’s in my studio.

Just found your new channel and subscribed. Best of luck and thanks for representing Donegal! 💚💛

Great work looks like I will have to go shopping 😊

Wow❣️ I’ll be trying this! Where can we post pics?

Wonderful 👏...Thanks for sharing from Sabine/ Germany

Love your videos! I like to see more of the same and more on the topic watercolor pencils ☺️🤙🏻 Emil / Sweden

Lovely drawing. I’d be interested in seeing you do a drawing with colored water-soluble graphite pencils. Derwent and Staedtler are two brands I know of that make those, but I haven't tried them.

I bought this set in a blister pack that included a little brush. Thanks for sharing a tutorial on how to use them! I’ll definitely try this. Unfortunately I don’t know where to get the photo.

Just came across your video and totally agree with you on this product! I use them mostly for quick sketching when out and about, however I live pretty much on the other side of the world it seems from you. The rain forest in Northern California is unique place to live. I do have the giant redwoods all around me and the most beautiful part of the California coast I think. Small populations. Anyway, have always loved seeing and using in my work places all over and Ireland is one top on my list. Would love to see what you see when out looking for drawing material and would it be ok to use any of it to sketch? I’m not a professional by any means but a grandmother at the time in her life enjoying what my passion has always been;) As I have disabilities and can’t travel distances my reference material is limited do like to ask before using others photos or videos. I haven’t yet checked your channel out yet and you may already have a lot out there of Ireland. Ha! But like I said I’ve just seen this video. Thanks for your time.

Hi Colin, great video. You are naughty as these are something I now need. Love the way the graphite explodes. I have been using Tombow pens which also work with water however can see a better use of the graphite ones.😊

Another great video Colin ... i look forward to trying these out . Any pencil demos appreciated . Jane B

MAS GRANDE EL DIBUJO PLEASE...

Do you have dedicated brushes for your graphites? I have this set but in the blister pack. I chose that one because it came with the No. 6 brush, iirc. Great review, btw!

Very interesting thank you Colin. I was wondering if you can erase marks made by these pencils with an ordinary pencil eraser if you want to change part of a drawing?

Nice pencils. Gotta say - *use a basic pen and crayons* and have fun :)
