In today's video, I am trying out the brand new Faber Castell Matt Graphite Pencil Set. Shine/glaze is a big issue with graphite pencils, so I was really excited when some of you guys let me know about these new, more matted graphite pencils! I also hope you enjoy the eyes demonstration!

Have you tried these/are you excited to try them? If you're not big into graphite because of the shine/lack of deep shades then I definitely recommend these.

@Marmelade they really are!! I love the quality

Yay! I also got my 2 six-packs a month ago. The larger 11-set w/ accessories was unavailable or out-of-stock from many US sites at that time. I'm glad you mentioned how "smooth" they lay down; and also about adding layers, without the extra graphite shine, like with the 9000 series. However, if you burnish or smudge hard with tortillions or stump, IT WILL start to shine a whole lot more than usual. I also noticed if I layered in different directions, it can cause bit of extra shine as well. As usual, GREAT REVIEW and artistic demonstration with the 'eye study.' I ALWAYS ENJOY your natural delivery and content.

Who knows when the 11 set will be back in stock! I might just buy the individual missing pencils off of blick😂I will have to play around with them a bit more. I imagine burnishing a lot creates more shine, I may have to do a burnishing test LOL! I think I tend to be kind of cautious with my technique using graphite or colored pencils because I am always trying to avoid shine/blooms! thank you so much for watching❤

Sorry I couldn’t watch this yesterday, but I’m here now 💗. New Faber Castell items are so exciting!! Getting new art supplies is so satisfying 🤩🙌🏻! Love how these pencils are more on the matte side with a very minimal shine. Always enjoy your comparisons you do 👍🏻! Awesome that these allow you to add more layers. Perfect for a black & white eye drawing 👀. I’m obsessed with how this set works!! I neeeeeed! 🤩💗

I'm so excited to see this! I ordered an art supply from the UK and I saw this set too so it kind of "fell into the basket".😂 I should receive mine by Christmas? Or after....lol! Wow, the difference between them and the regular graphite in the light is astounding. I can't wait to film a drawing with them to see how they work under my studio lights; losing that annoying reflection will be awesome! The drawing you did also shows how matte they are, and I really like it! Yay!!! 😆

@AlexisCassandraArt 2 жыл бұрын

Hehe I can't wait for you to receive them out now that I've tried them and love them so much!! 💙They really look better than the normal graphite, less silver and of course darker in the higher grade pencils. There is still a bit of shine that I think you'll see more with studio lights but not as severe, but still, they are the most matte graphite I've ever used!😃

Pitt G.Matt and the Faber Castell Aquarelle,are the best wooden pencils! My sketchroll also includes General Charcoal full set, Kohinoor and Conte Red Chalk,Pentel Graphgear 500 in 0.5 and 0.3mm. As also Conte paperstump,Tombow erasers and KUM sharpeners!

@AlexisCassandraArt Жыл бұрын

Nice! I have some of these, not Conte Red Chalk or KUM sharpeners though, maybe worth a try?

@greekveteran2715 Жыл бұрын

@@AlexisCassandraArt KUM Masterpiece and KUM automatic longpoint,are both a must for any pencil artist. They are not jjust the best in terms of qualityfor ,point they produce and their longevity, they offer more than that with their versatility. If you like Sanguine sketches and drawings, Conte Sanguine and Kohinnorr Russet Sepia 5.6mm or their Red chalk pencil, ate the best in their categories. All supplies I mentioned are my most used and most loved!!

That drawing was really cool mate! I have a question. Do you draw on a flat desk or does it have an incline?

@AlexisCassandraArt 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you!! I draw on a flat desk. I think if I was a painter (acrylics or oils) then I'd want to use an easel or incline desk, but a flat desk works for me for the media I use! especially watercolor because that would just drip on incline😂

From what I see, I'm interested in trying them! I would like to ask you a question... comparing them with the Creta Charcoal oil pencils... I know that these are not graphite,... but are they similar in softness and hardness?

@AlexisCassandraArt Жыл бұрын

The cretacolor seem to go on a bit smoother I think, but I’d need to compare them side by side to really answer! The cretacolor are quite hard in comparison to regular charcoal pencil.

Strathmore Mixed Media Paper, and I'm using normal wax/tracing paper to protect my hand and the drawing! It is a really cheap and easy way to keep the drawing from smearing. I usually list materials in the description of my videos if that is helpful to you:)

This was just Faber-Castell's attempt to copy what Staedtler did with their Lumograph mat pencils. Honestly, I'm not impressed with either one. I'll stick to my usual ways of eliminating shine.

I've tried the lumographs too! Very interesting, but I think they feel different to graphite in both cases. How do you usually eliminate shine?
