These are a staple in my pencil collection,I love the dark richness of the colours and the pigment conttent is surpriingly high in relation to the graphinte content. These are great on toned papers too. I use them in mixed media pieces and over watercolours. They can be layred up really well. I have the pan set as well and use both together. They also make a range of tinted charcol pencils which work well with these pencils. I like that the Graphitint pencils are a good mix of warm and cool colours.How well they layer depends on the paper you use. I use them for life drawing as well.

Really happy you got to check out these pencils. I've avoided them forever, as I just don't see myself using them, but you definitely make them look fun and I enjoyed your thorough tour of each one and the ways to apply external techniques. Well done! Loved the final demo to really show how to use a product like this! Cheers! ~ Mark

Thank you! I had a lot of fun with them, I'm surprised it took me so long to try them. I like water-soluble graphite in general. However, I may end up having the same issue with not using them much, not because I don't like them, but just from lack of time since I work in so many other mediums. Lol. I will definitely have to make a conscious effort to use them often now that I have them.

I got the pan set in an art subscription box and really liked it, but haven’t used it that much. I remember using Meadow a lot because it was the only colour that gave light to the painting. They did lift when layering so it will be interesting to see how they behave when you use the pans and pencils together.

@CautionArtistatPlay 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I'm really curious to try them! I will definitely keep the lifting in mind. Meadow is a great color and I agree about it bringing light to the rest. I used a lot of it here and will probably do the same with the pans!

Mesmerizing what you can do with these pencils. One of my favorite video on the topic. You told that you worked a day on this painting. Did you do it as comissioned work, for fun or for a portfolio? You are an artist for a living, what have you done or are you doing with this gorgeous piece of art? In a couple of years the number of viewers go up to 100 thousand or so, and this painting is going to be famous, a kind of well-known.

Thank you! I do sell my originals and prints of my work. I do commissions sometimes, but rarely at this point as I'd rather focus on my personal work. This one was just for fun to try out the pencils and get a feel for them.

Thank you! 💖 Yeah, they definitely aren't an ultra necessary supply, lol. They just give a fun, different effect. They feel good to work with and give a neat antique look to the piece. They aren't as vibrant as regular watercolor pencils, and I could definitely feel the graphite in them. I like playing around with supplies, so for me, it was about trying something different than the same old pencils on the market. It just adds a bit of variety to the supply stash, lol.

Gosh, that work is absolutely gorgeous 🤩 I was really curious about these pencils. I’d like to draw portraits with graphite. Are the colours in these set suitable for portraits?

@CautionArtistatPlay 10 ай бұрын

Thank you!! Personally, I don't know that I would like them for portraits unless I was going for a non-traditional color scheme or some dramatic effects. I think they would be neat for experimental or surrealistic kinds of portraits, but I'm not sure as far as typical portaits go. They could be fun for a neat kind of antique look. All of the colors are going to have a bit of a darkness to them because of the graphite, so it might be tough to draw someone with fair skin with these. I have not tried a portrait with them, though, so I can't say for certain.

@Art_by_Nicole 10 ай бұрын

@@CautionArtistatPlay thanks for your advice. I have only been drawing for two years now and I draw meanly photorealism: humans and there emotions. I think it’s good to focus on one thing at a time. At the moment I am trying to make the same portraits with colour, but it’s really hard or at least I think it is. I thought ‘I’m good with graphite and these pencils are graphite with colours, maybe a win-win?’ 😅 maybe I am making it to hard for myself, but I just don’t get the realisme on paper with colored pencil like I do with graphite and it’s kinda frustrating 🥴

@CautionArtistatPlay 10 ай бұрын

@grasspriet-84 It can be frustrating to learn a new medium for sure! I do think regular colored pencil is probably what you are looking for when it comes to photo realism, though. I'm not sure if you learn well through reading, but if you do, I highly recommend the book "Colored Pencil Painting Bible" by Alyona Nickelsen. It's fantastic and can really help with doing realism with colored pencils!
