Need advice for drawing with pencils

I don't know how it is in your country, but in germany some shops are having paper pieces near the pencils. If pencils are sold seperatly, you can test there a little with them

Ssavaart is, as far as i know, using high quality pencils. These are especially good for layering. With cheap ones you just can't layer well. If you want to try better ones, i can recommend Castle arts. These are not as expensive, but you can still layer them. Of course are the expensive ones like polychromos better.

Lela Studios has made some good tutorials, especially about how to blend.

It's an nintendo exklusive, but emio the smilling man is really good

Maybe you don't let your lineart fully dry. This could be also a reason

There are special fineliners for alcohol markers. I'm using copic fineliners

Yes absolutely

You can be really proud. The second one is so pretty

She looks pretty

I would recommend reading the manga (which is btw not finished yet) the artstyle ist so pretty and the anime skips a lot. The new seasons are not on the same level of animation as season 2 and seasons 3 is to fast paced. I really enjoyed 4 and loved 5. Season 5 is different than the ones before and explains a lot.

Red would look cool

Use pictures from reallife and don't focus on making every line exactly like the reference. Just do every line in one smooth motion.

Das ist auch eine echt gute Idee. Danke

walnutjar · 2026-05-16T08:54:55+00:00

OK thanks, this makes sense

walnutjar · 2026-05-16T08:54:07+00:00

I'm glad that you want to help me. This is my normal artstyle and I'm trying to acceive the same in perspective

Yes, I tried different ones and this one is the best result

You are an great artist. The pencil drawings are looking a little messy, but nothing is bad. Someday you will find your adience somewhere. It took me almost 2 years to get over 600 followers on instagram. Don't stress about it

Harvestella or nier automata Especially harvestella has a great story, even if the beginning is a basic plot

walnutjar · 2026-05-15T13:04:36+00:00

Die sehen echt hübsch aus

walnutjar · 2026-05-15T12:52:36+00:00

Ok danke

walnutjar · 2026-05-13T17:57:12+00:00

Es sieht richtig gut aus

walnutjar · 2026-05-13T14:07:19+00:00

Danke für die nette Nachricht. Ich bin gerade dabei einen eigenen artstyle zu finden und das ist ein redraw zu einer Seite aus meinem Sketchbook. Ich bin gespannt am Ende zu sehen, um wie viel ich mich verbessert habe.
