Hi, I’m Jason,
I’ve been teaching people how to draw and paint animals for over 25 years, and I truly believe anyone can learn this with the right guidance.
If you’ve ever thought, “I’d love to do that, but I don’t have the talent”… you’re exactly who I make these videos for.
Most people think drawing realistically is about talent.
It’s not.
It’s about learning how to *see properly* — and that’s exactly what I teach you step by step in my lessons.
Keep up to date with my art and lessons on my educational FaceBook page –

I’d love to see what you create.

Pastel pencils snapping when you sharpen them?
You’re not imagining it — it’s one of the most frustrating problems pastel artists face.
In this video, I test four popular pencil sharpeners to see which ones actually work for pastel pencils, and which ones are more likely to cause breakage. I look at sharpness, control, pencil damage, and how consistent each sharpener really is.
Chapters
00:00 - intro
02:00 prices
04:20 unboxing
08:30 sharpening
15:00 which ones are best
This isn’t sponsored, and it’s not about hype — just a practical, artist-to-artist test to help you avoid wasted pencils and frustration.
🎨 In this video you’ll learn:
Why pastel pencils snap so easily
What makes a sharpener suitable (or unsuitable) for pastel pencils
Which sharpener gave the cleanest, point
My honest recommendation after testing all four
If you use Carbothello, Derwent, Faber-Castell, or similar pastel pencils, this will save you time, money, and broken tips.
👉 Let me know in the comments which sharpener you use — and whether you’ve had snapping issues too.
