Kosiz Blending Sponge Pen Double Headed Rub and Buff Washable Rubbing Sponge Brush Sketch Wipe Reusable Blending Stump Drawing Art Blenders for Artist Highlight Shadow Tool(White,Black,2 Pcs)

Wow, super duper fast shipping! I ordered these in the late afternoon on Wednesday and they were delivered by Thursday morning. Enough about that. I wanted this set because I'll be doing some pencil sketching in the next week while recovering from surgery. I love how there's two ends to each tool. One side is a firm, felt like material for blending and the other side is a soft sponge like material for use with shading and creating natural shading. There are two sizes, so six are smaller for getting into very small, precise spaces and doing light touch work and then the larger size for covering larger areas of your work. They feel like a nice weight, not too heavy for when you want to use them for extended periods of time, say on a large piece of artwork. They feel durable and they don't twist around while using them for shading. You have complete control over how you use them. I purchased the set in blue of 12 pieces so I can see having these for a very long time and getting use out of them not with just pencil lead but with other mediums as well, such as water colored pencils and charcoal. These are a very versatile type of artist's tool and can be used with just about any medium you want. They're comfortable in my hand and feel sturdy enough for both soft touch and hard touch. They're also easy to clean with hot water and a dab of soap. I think it's a great value and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to any artist, beginner or experienced!

These are sturdy, well made blenders. The white tip is much like a compressed paper stub blender, and the dark foam end is a very soft spongy blender that’s great for feathery, ethereal blending. Press too hard with the spongy end while using pastel chalks will basically remove most of the chalk. But a very light touch can give exquisite results. I have not had the same issues as some other reviews with the white ends getting imbedded into the metal handle, and I received all 12 pieces. My set came complete, and it’s all top quality. The only thing that would make this set better would be a nice case to keep them in. Other than that, I think these are perfect for chalk, charcoal, graphite, and maybe creamy-leaded color pencils (like Prisma brand), although I haven’t yet tried them on colored pencils. Recommended!

Why did you pick this product vs others?: The white felt end is great. It is firm and blends well. The small size black sponge side works fairly well. But the large black sponge size is very very squishy and floppy and does not work well. For the price, the white sides are worth it. I have not yet used them enough to see how they clean. If they clean easily it will stay a 4 star. If not...

I know these don’t look or seem like quality art supplies, but, they are fantastic for blending and smoothing colored pencils, for shading, and smudging rough edges. The white end blends and smooths, while the black end smudges. These are a go-to on my drawing table; I have not found anything that works as well as these unique tools.

These are pretty nifty. I started with the plastic ones with the replacement sponge ends. Those aren't great. THESE are easy to use. And smoother. The black end is more of a burnisher. Blends somewhat, but burnishes what you've already blended or already laid down. The white side is rougher. It will blend. But don't press too hard because it is rougher and can tear your paper. It's made for light pressure use. Use the white end first, then the black. You can clean the ends as well. Clean the black end with a damp cloth, the white end you can scrub a bit harder or use an eraser on. You don't absolutely need these, but they do give you another way to add personality to your art.

First time I used them, the sponge came out. They do work well when not falling apart.

Just what my wanted to use with her art projects.

I picked up the Kosiz Blending Sponge Pen to see if it could help with my drawing, and it did not disappoint. The dual-ended sponge tips are perfect for blending pencil, charcoal, or even pastel, especially when working on small details or creating soft gradients. The pen-like design makes it easy to control, which is a big plus for precision work. The sponges are firm enough to handle heavier strokes but soft enough to blend smoothly without leaving harsh lines. It’s compact, so it’s easy to carry around with my sketchpad, and it’s way less messy than using my fingers for shading. Cleaning the sponges takes a little care, but they hold up decently with proper use. If you’re into drawing or shading, this is a super handy tool to have. It won’t replace all your blending tools, but it’s a great addition to your kit for detailed work!

O produto é interessante, contudo não está correto que a taxa de importação está incluida. Sugiro corrigir no site da Amazon.

Herramientas muy necesarias para la técnica del pastel, carboncillo y lápices de colores. Muy recomendables. Esta es la segunda ocasión que las compro.

Just as described and good price.

Love them. Great for blending pastels
