    Well, I think what gives that sorta depth 2 his art is not just the pencil he uses, but the way he puts weight on the lines, meaning thin in some places and thick in some places. But the lines are dark, so I would use a 6B to finalize sketching lines.I hope this helps in some way! -^_^-
    God Bless

    Thanks for your tutos…
    But please, can you say what kind of pencils do you use?
    I can’t find Prismacolor pencils in my country…

    I just use B,3B,8B pencils, but I can’t have the expected result…
    Please, give me some tips of any kind of material to use…

    Thanks again!

    It is very good.
    お上手ですね。I want to see Europe and America people’s person picture.
    でも日本で美少女マンガなんていわれているものはあまり受け入れられて欲しくないなあなんて思います。顔のほとんどが目でそんな女ばあ出てきよる、内容も全然ないもんが海外に出て行くのは恥ずかしいと思ってしまうんですよね。

    Great help for the lips that always got me when drawing. Also if you could do a video on
    drawing people in different posistions like jumping,taking a photo,holding someone etc. that would be a big help and I’d be totally set for life. ^_^
