Art Alternatives White Stumps and Tortillions for Drawing and Shading

Dylan: It's a nice little set with good range of sizes. I've used these for both charcoal and graphite and they work great. It's a simple product but you'd be amazed how other brands mange to make bad ones. These will be my go to ones unless I happen to try something else. These can be purchased confidently for students and more advanced artists.

CasicesCasices: I am just getting back into drawing. It was a favorite pastime as a kid. I'm glad I gave these a try. I've been using them for about a month. One has begun to unravel but I can be pretty heavy-handed. They definitely make shading easier for this novice.

Bhagyasri: The best tortilons ever...of course, these are best cause I waited for 1month for delivery and when I receive them I just think well.... it's worth my waiting. And also I recommend everyone. These are the best.

A.AA.A: I not much when it comes to blending and all but I like how the price was and how many of them came I would say they are very worth it. It made it very easy for me to blend my drawings and these are very good to use when you want to blend in a certain part of the drawing more over parts that you can’t really blend with your finger because it will only mess it up. At first my package didn’t arrive saying the package got lost and all but they were able to replace it and I was totally fine with that as long as it came.

Daryl-Ann: I love these. I recently began drawing with charcoals, and I remembered using these in art class in high school, so I ordered them, and I was surprised how much better they worked now that I am an adult and understand what I am doing! lol
I actually use the smallest one for cleaning my keyboard, because its gentle but can still get into the crevices too. I work in IT so I will likely order more just for that actually.

Barb M: These work great. Made out of rolled up paper. The smaller ones are a bit soft but the larger points are nice & firm.

Leah200363: These were purchased as a stocking stuffing for my up and coming young artist. She is making her way through a self taught art course and requested these to give her aid. She was tired of getting the ol' gray artists finger when trying to shade her projects. With neat, pointed tortillions, the shading gets right where you want it. These are a great help and the assorted sizes are a real treat. I would suggest a kneadable eraser as well. Highly recommend.
Silly artists, gray is for tortillions, not fingers. :-)

Joseph Busby: I had a set like this before and there were amazing, but these just blew the others out of the water. I would strongly recommend these to any beginner, intermediate or eve expert artists as they are suited for all levels of skill.
