tangypeach97 Mar.16th 2011: It works even better if you use a blending stump or cotton ball... well, I'll admit I've never tried the cotton, but using a blending stump rather than your finger is easier and neater!; Add your reply

AuntDeen Jan.18th 2011: The information is understood clearly. easy to read and comprehend for beginner-intermediate drawer. However, not having proper pencils,paper and erasers did not give me the proper texture to my work. One the smooth paper I used I could not get much texture. The pencil did not go dark enough. And the eraser, not able to proper pull off nicely.; Add your reply
