	Make your own Tortillon
		A tortillon is a tightly rolled sheet of paper, the inside of which is pushed out into a pencil shape and used by pencil, pastel and charcoal artists to blend and push colour around on the drawing paper, softening edges and graduating tones.
		You may want to try experimenting with various types of paper, the commercial tortillons that I've come across are made from a rather loose fibre paper, similar to thin blotting paper but I've found that just about any paper will do.
		Use the tortillon at a slight angle to prevent pushing the point into the body.

	Materials & Supplies
		A Tortillon is an artist's tool used to smudge and blend a drawing made from charcoal, pencil or pastel.
		When blending, the tortillon is held at an angle to avoid driving the point into the paper and to increase the surface area.
		The tip of the tortillon must be kept clean when blending in a light toned area of the drawing, or it will smear darker media on the illustration.
