In reply to Leonard Cardinale. Hi Leonard, The Heritage paper is soft (since it is 100% cotton) with a light tooth. Bristol paper is a much harder paper. It will behave in a similar way compared to the Heritage paper but blending is more difficult. I hope this helps.

Hi Matt,
Does the Canson Heritage paper produce a smoother gradient than other types of smooth tooth paper, i.e. Bristol Velum?
Thanks,
Len

Hi,
I just discovered your courses via your youtube channel and so far I love it! I’ve been trying to improve my shading and looking for videos and this is the best I’ve found so far!

I use the grid method a lot when working with a photo and I have a tip for getting a light line that is easy to erase, I discovered that when you use a mechanical pencil for your grid it’s so much easier to get that really light line and it’s so much easier to completely erase without residual lines showing that just won’t come off the paper. It’s been a game changer for me.

Thanks again for the wonderful lessons and I’m looking forward to watching the others especially the colored pencils.

In reply to Sana Mansour. Hi Sana, It does not matter which hand you work with. The essence of drawing is observation. The order in which you apply the material only matters when you are protecting parts of the drawing from smearing. Since you are left handed, you may choose to start in the upper right hand corner and work down and to the left. Whereas a right handed person may start in the upper left hand corner and work downward and to the right.

In reply to Malcolm Lock. Hi Malcolm, The white Blackwing pencil is similar to a 2B, while the other two pencils are similar to a 4B.
