When it comes to blending in drawing, the best tool among the options you listed is the tortillon. A tortillon is a tightly rolled piece of paper that helps in smoothing and blending pencil marks, creating soft transitions and gradients. While the fingertip can also be used for blending, it may not provide the same level of control and precision that a tortillon does. Graphite crayons can be used for applying and blending, but they are primarily drawing tools. A kneaded eraser is useful for lifting graphite or creating highlights, but it is not primarily a blending tool. Thus, the tortillon is the most effective choice for blending.
Which tool is best to use for blending?
• Fingertip
• Tortillon
O Graphite crayon
• Kneaded eraser
