Derwent Paper Stump For Blending & Smudging, Set Of 3, Rice Paper, Professional Quality, 2300561, White

I’d never used these before I always used tissue paper or something similar to do it but since I’ve found these I’ll not be looking back! These are so worth it and easy to use and worth the money, it’s a shame they don’t come with a little sanding pad to sand them on though because I wouldn’t have guessed that that’s what your ment to use to clean/sharpen them (they’re really cheap to get by the way) and they’re made of basically paper but a soft kind of paper not hard like cardboard! All in all they’re totally worth it and would recommend to anyone who wants to blend shades better and soften features.

The media could not be loaded. Simple to use, blends pencils much quicker, cleaner and smoother than just your fingers alone. It is a worthwhile purchase if you work with pencils or graphite.You can easily clean and sharpen it with some sand paper, using a sharp edge to trim it off or to sharpen may not be as ideal.

I'm not exactly much of an artist, but I've been working hard over recent months to become a better artist; and I decided to get one of these because various drawing channels on youtube recommended them. These have definitely done a good job by smoothening out my shading and although the ends of the blending sticks do get dirty quite quickly, they are still very much usable - and I thought it was great value for money.

I bought these after watching another artist using them so I thought I would give them a try.They're absolutely incredible for blending and shading and I can achieve some stunning effects.They hold onto lots of graphite and you can move it around the image so much.I clean them by shaving them ever so finely with a scalpel, watch your fingers!

I haven't used yet so can't really comment on them but the quality of them looks great and at a good price

Love these blending stumps by Derwint.Other brands are way too hard I find, but these are perfect and don't burnish the surface at all.

Great stumps that I buy regularly. They're tightly rolled and graphite cleans off by rubbing into a putty rubber. I can also cut them into a new point but this never is as clean as I'd like it to be.Hence the never-ending purchasing.Someone should invent stump-ends that can be used with a pencil extender. That way one regular stump could yield four or five perhaps.

These are great to use when blending pencils
