Artists looking to take their pencil and charcoal sketches to the next level can benefit from using practical blending tools. When drawing or sketching, there are times when blending the edges is necessary to create smooth transitions between tones or gradients. Many artists use cotton swabs, a finger, or tissue, but these methods can be messy and have limitations. Using your finger, for instance, can cause the skin's oils to soak into the graphite, making it difficult to erase.
For a less hassle-some and more professional look, artists should consider using dedicated blending tools. Our blending tool set includes a variety of options that are specifically designed for this purpose, allowing for more precise blended areas. Beginners and experienced artists alike can experiment with these 5 popular blending tools to find what works best for their needs:
Tortillons are classic blending tools made from tightly-wound strips of paper, formed into a hand-held stump. The ridges hold materials well, and the pointed tip provides controlled blending, making them ideal for charcoal or graphite drawings. To use effectively, simply roll the tortillon between your fingers as you blend to pick up material evenly.
Blending Stumps are similar to tortillons, but are made with more highly compressed paper. They come in a variety of sizes and feature refined points, giving artists a high degree of control. Blending stumps can be sharpened and cleaned with fine sandpaper for continued use.
Sketch Wipe Scrapers are versatile tools used for erasing small areas or creating highlights by scraping away graphite/charcoal. They feature both pointed and oval sponge applicators, suitable for detailed work and larger areas. The sponges can be washed and reused, making this an economical option.
The Sketch Rubbing Sponge is made of soft foam and can be used to apply or remove medium, creating a variety of textural effects, such as atmospheric elements like clouds or mist.
Kneaded Erasers are soft and pliable, allowing them to be molded into different shapes. They are excellent for removing graphite/charcoal and lifting off small amounts to create highlights.
In addition to the blending tools, the set includes 2 sandpaper sharpeners for maintaining the drawing tools. With practice, artists will gain greater control over their blending techniques. It's recommended to start slowly on scrap paper before committing to a finished piece, and to experiment with combining various blending methods to find the most effective approach.
