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.

All about the zen my dudes. Drastically improves and calms the hand

Videos like these...relaxes me. Im an artist too...just by sharpening my pencils relaxes me.

Wowa!! I was doing it absurdly WRONG!! Your vid saved me and all the former pain sharpening my charcoal!! Muah 💋

Always wanted to watch a full tutorial on this. Thank you!

I was sharpening it with a sharpener witch was the charcoal was being broken so i was trying for HOURS😂😂😂

The tips on how to hold and push are such a huge help!

Thank you very much! This is the best pencil sharpening video I've seen so far. Greetings from India.

Wow! This was amazing! Slow enough to include important details but still fast enough to maintain interest! Can't wait to try it!!!

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.

Very clear demonstration. Thank you!

When I cut my charcoal pencil the charcoal always break even if I'm too careful. It is super annoying

Just what I was looking for! And the way you talk is meditative as much as is the action.

I saw the thumbnail and was like bruhhhhh

Excellently explained- thank you!

awesome and thanks for uploading it.

Thank you so much, this helped a lot!

Soo much relaxing and helpful thanks sir for this huge help

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.

Thank you for sharing this secret and it's helping me to sharpen my pencils with ease.🙏

Thank you so much for this amazing video!

So relaxing

Excellent video

omg I DID IT!!!! It was so easy and it really helps to have that long piece of sharp charcoal❤❤❤❤❤Thank you!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉

This was so incredibly helpful- come to find I was holding the blade in the wrong direction- so much easier with the sharp side! lol

Very useful thanks!

Thank you!

wow thanks a lot very educative

Thank you soooo much for the video!

My mom already knew this trick and she helped me sharpening my charcoal pencil

THANK YOU.

Thanks a lot

Very thank full..

Thank you

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.

Why do you look like you're hiding ungodly amounts of annoyance with that smile?

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 😍😍

Thanks for this video, I was wondering what the blade was used for, now I know it's for my charcoal lol.

Thank you, before watching I had no idea how to safely use a box cutter.

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'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.

Hi did you normal brushes those sandpaper off? Cos the charcoal are so soft and end up the sandpaper are very smooth!

The real fun begin when the lead break

Do you need to sharpen the charcoal pencil even when you get a fully charcoal pencil(literally just charcoal in the shape of a pencil type of pencil)?

What paper do you use these on or are they only applicable to newsprint?

What grit of sandpaper is advisable to use?

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 😁❣️👍🍩☕😄🎱

Great helpful video. Thanks for sharing. But film canisters disappeared long ago.

Good idea about wiping the dust off after sharpening

May I ask? Is Soft, Medium, Hard type of Charcoal pencil has something to do with their tendency to break easily?

谢谢你

Can it be sharpen by using rotary pencil sharpener?

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.

Is there a link to a sanding pad someone can share ?

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 found it nearly impossible to sharpen the Conte 3B. Very soft and crumbled easily..

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.

GUYS ROSS BOB IS BACK HOLY MOLY.

Just thanks

i tried and it gave nothing when i did it this end was fully broken idk why

Name the company of pencil

What hardness was this pencil? Bc w/ the 3B today I broke it every single time I finally got the wood to expose the lead. :P

It. Is very Best pen for droing shadeing

My charcoal in the pencil keeps breaking when I sharpen it

thanx god you exist

I was sharpening the pencil and it would break then I tried doong it with the knife when I would finally get some led it would just break again

What's your knive called?

I'm sorry but what's that black thing? Which is sharpening its lead

Thank u so much ... i have 1st time visit on your channel .. u r vedio very helpful for begginer artist .. subscribe ur channel.. love from india🇮🇳🇮🇳

When I first saw that long tip charcoal I tought it is going to break only by watching it

If I make that long and it breaks. Wouldn't it finish my pencil faster than with a sharpener?

Super

I was sharpening it with a sharpener till now It was again and again breaking 😂😂😂

what are the benefits made like that?

Wait... is that a Carbon pencil or charcoal? Its so solid... i see

mine still kept breaking for 2 hours i’ve been trying 😩

What we see on your video is not a charcoal pencil. It's a "pierre noire", which is very different.

Does this mean I can't sharpen a charcoal pencil with a sharpener

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.

I... totally didn't break my new charcoal pencil twice before watching this video. I didn't try to use the sharpener for my graphite pencils either.

What do you call that ping pong thingy like

IS THIS GUY THE FLASH!? HIS HAND WAS MOVING SO FAST! :O

I did it

You sound exactly like Nathan Fielder

no matter how hard I press Mine breaks the moment knife touches the charcoal, its kind of annoying since it was 2€ for each pencil :/

I didnt know a video could change my life so much

Damn that got really deep plus I'm baked

What if the charcoal pencil is rounded by paper?

Nice watch 😁

2:17 left or right hand really im using my feet

But it's still broke into pieces. I used soft charcoal

That looks like a spear. 😂 can't do that on my pens, they broke easily

I no understand you leangue but thanks for the tutorial by the way im from indonesia

Use a callus remover

Creativebug this great and all but wouldn't it be easier to just carve a lump of charcoal

this is a blackstone lead, however the method shown here is corect

Pencil name please ❤️❤️

but mine isn’t sharpened.

Jesus! Is that a weapon?
