Hey all!
Gotten back into the drawing in a big way over past few weeks! Just wondering does anyone know where I could get a blending stump for blending graphite?

Really sick of relying on cotton buds for blending and can't seem to find blending stump anywhere in my locality!

Looking in the Dublin/Meath area but Drogheda wouldn't be out of bounds either!

Thanks everyone!

In Dublin, Kennedy's in Harcourt Street and Sullivan's in Camden might have them, but you can al;ways use yopur fingers for bledning!

Thanks Ikky!
Never heard of Kennedy's! I'll send my Dublin correspondent on a hunt!

Oh god, I never use my fingers! Well I used to when doing life sketches under and hour or so but if I'm doing portrait stuff now I tend to avoid it cos your fingers naturally have oil on them and they can feck up a drawing royally! For me anyway!

Thanks for the tip! Anymore sources of blending stumps welcome!!!
