Review of the Art Alternatives Chamois-5"x7"

I find this quite useful as an alternative to paper stumps and tortillions, As seen below on Cathy the cat on this Simon and Freddy fan art drawing I made. I give this five stars.
 

Review of the ProTapes Artist Tape

I like the clean edge this tape gives to my watercolor and ink drawings. The thing I find most interesting is that if you don't make sure that every thing is flat, then some of liquid seeps into those spots and makes cool looking shapes as seen on Stag on log. Below is one of the few works of art that I still haven't shown that I've used this tape on, I call it "Brindle Great Dane "

Other Works of art that I've used this on before I made this post include Molly in the fall , and Simon and Freddy fan art drawing. Some thing else I've found out from using this tape, is that it works better with a half inch border then a one inch border which I usually do for my drawings and paintings. I give this 5 stars out of 5 stars

Review of the Sanford Prismacolor Premier Markers size 05 and Canson Pro Layout Marker Pad 9X12

One again I've decided to review two art products together. Once again I give these products 5 out of 5 stars. Here is a cat that I made with these products, along with the White Large Bullet Nib PITT Artist Pen.

Review of the PITT Artist Pen - White Large Bullet Nib

I'm glad that I finally got this as ever since I made pen drawings with a Magic Rub Eraser, I've been Smudging the drawings I make and with this, it get rid of them and spots that I made pen marks that I changed my mind about after making those marks. It also makes highlighting easier also. As seen below on these drawings and mixed media drawings. I give this 4 stars as my XS size pen was slightly damage as I didn't know that you need to wait for it to dry before adding pen marks, and the Magic Rub Eraser doesn't work so well on pen marks that were put on top of it

Review of the Palette Painting Knife Set- 12 Stainless Steel Art Palette Knives with Carrying Case and Royal Langnickel 22-Sheet Oil and Acrylic Essentials Artist Paper Pad, 9-Inch by 12-Inch

I like how these products work I give them both 5 stars. The Palette Knives were very interesting to use, although when I made my signature with a Palette Knife, it didn’t work so well as seen below on the Acrylic painting I made with these two products. I call "Lake at Manchester, Georgia"

Review of the Magic Rub Eraser

This eraser is very good at getting rid of graphite, but as for India Ink pen, it works best before the ink has dried to get a grey color. The other thing you need with this is a white India Ink pen to get rid of unwanted smudge marks.
Here is one thing you can do with it, make a work of art look like this :

Review of the Sanford Prismacolor Colored Pencil Accessory Set

You can get it on Amazon Here 

With this, it adds finishing touches to art so you can get something like this :

PITBULL word art drawing

I will start off by talking about the pencil colorless blender. All the brown and white pit bulls had it used on them. Next on the list is the marker colorless blender. There is a tri-color pit bull that had it on and makes the black transition into orange better. The pencil lengthener is quite useful on my cylinder shaped pencils. Then there is the pencil sharpener which is very good at making sharp points as shown below:

The ebony drawing pencil is good for sketching but doesn't last that long as this drawing was sketched

in ebony drawing pencil.

Then there is the plastic eraser. This is how good it's at, at erasing hard and soft marks.   

The soft mark is under the tri-color pit bull. Lastly is the kneaded eraser. It's good at picking up colored pencil, pen ink and marker other then graphite pencil. As for graphite pencil it can make a hard B2 pencil mark look like a light H4 pencil mark. 

Over all I give this a 4 out of 5 stars as the ebony drawing pencil gets eaten up by a sharpener quicker then I had hoped it would have 

Product Review of Derwent Onyx Pencils

I have decided to start product reviews of Art supplies I buy online.
this is a review of some Onyx Pencils I recently got. Find them on Amazon here

Here is a compression to Onyx, Charcoal, and a mechanical  pencil with 0.7 HB lead. on medium grain drawing paper

The eraser  is better for smudging then erasing, and the sharpener is good for getting a fine point
   I had hoped the Onyx pencils would be darker then the charcoal pencil, but it's about as dark a HB graphite pencil.

I give this a 4 out of 5 stars rating
three stars for the Onyx pencils plus one star for the things that come with it.

Update: 3-4-14

I guess it must have been the type of paper I used, as my Onyx pencils look darker on printer paper. I've also found out that as Onyx is dark graphite, it works great with paper tortillons and stumps, and kneaded eraser, but unlike charcoal, it doesn't mix well with charcoal white. I found this out as I actually used them for making a drawing with them.
