17 Pcs Blending Stumps and Tortillions Set 2 Pcs Sandpaper Pencil Sharpener and 1 Pencil Extension Tool Art Blenders Drawing Tools for Student Sketch Drawing

Great bargain and variety!

the blending stumps and tortillions are great. very well made, have done their job as they should, except for one just completely unraveling on me but eh. however the little bag they send with these, it's garbage. the zipper isn't even sewn on correctly, as soon as I had taken all the products out of it the damn thing just slid right off the end and right outta the zipper teeth. useless now.

The 17 Pcs Blending Stumps and Tortillions Set offers a wide range of tools for blending and shading, and the inclusion of a storage bag adds value to the purchase. The tools themselves feel sturdy and durable, instilling confidence in their longevity. However, as a novice artist, I found myself wishing for some guidance on how to effectively use each tool. While the set provides an assortment of blending stumps and tortillions, it lacks instructions or a guide explaining their specific purposes and techniques. This oversight may leave beginners like myself searching for external resources to fully understand and utilize the potential of each tool. Despite this drawback, the set remains a good investment due to its variety and storage convenience, providing ample opportunities for exploration and experimentation in the art of blending and shading.

I purchased these to split between a couple of students to whom I’m teaching some basic drawing skills. There’s plenty of pieces to share and doesn’t break the bank.Nice quality, highly recommend

I had been researching for more blending stumps seems mine are falling apart. (I'm not sure, but Could be because they're over 15yrs old. Hahaha) When I got to this page, I saw quite a few reviews that said they never received the bag. That was one of the main things I was looking for in these sets. Sure, I could go to a dollar store or any type of store, even a grocery store, and find a small bag. But it's a hassle these days for me to physically go anywhere. So, I kept researching. But I'd find a set with a bag, but no sponge or eraser. Then I'd find sets with a sponge an eraser, but no bag. I started getting real frustrated after a couple of hours of doing this. Then I just broke it down on what I REALLY needed. Seems I already have a couple of different erasers and sponges from my older arts and craft stuff, I decided to just go with a set that has a bag. I Then looked at pricing. This set was the best, IF the bag came with it. Plus, I'd also found a 6 pc sponge set for $5 so With that and this set together came to $12.99. Looking at other sets that had the items I was getting here + sponges, and they all were either higher priced or didn't have an item that was in this set. Example: a set for $11.99 didn't have "2" if the sandpaper sharpener like this set. Or most of them didn't have the colored blending stumps like this set does and this was a MUST no matter what else I got. And although I already have 6 of them, if the set didn't have the extender, It just didn't compare to the items in this set. So, overall, getting the sponge set + this "gift bag" set, was the best choice. Worse case scenario, the bag didn't come, I'd leave a bad review and talk to seller. Lol. HOWEVER, as you can see, send I worried for no reason! I'm EXTREMELY pleased with my set, I received a bag with everything else that is supposed to be in the set. Whoever is in charge of putting the packs together, WELL DONE AND THANK YOU FOR PAYING ATTENTION!!! 👍😊I am HIGHLY recommending this set. Maybe they have the issue worked out and all packs are packed as they should be. Otherwise, the company needs to find the person hoarding all those little bags. Lol

I had never used blending stumps before and wasn't sure what to expect as someone trying to teach myself to draw. I've been following along with the book called 'You Can Draw in 30 Days' and experimented with the various sized blenders to get the look in the book. See picture for some of the results - I really like how they turned out! Also the stumps were very easy to clean with the provided sand paper. Based on other products around this price point, I think you get a lot of bang for your buck. With so many stumps, I can keep some at home and others in my travel bag.

Great kit, arrived promptly, with all items complete and intact. Would recommend to family and friends!

The pencil case is pretty worthless, made od some felt-like course fabric. The zipper was already frayed. The pencil extender holds a standard pencil in one end and a slimmer piece of vine charcoal (or something else thin) well. It is light weight but functional. The paper twists and sand paper sharpening tools are as good as any you’d find. In short, this is not a luxury set, but it’s worth the price.
