Welcome,
This time it is you surprised me, rather than I – was like it last time. For the first time I received the question from the reader, and exactly request I should share it on my side, in what way I am securing my pencil works.
At least I am certainly not a champion in this field and it is certainly possible to find a lot of materials e.g. online. I think that, I won’t be delaying giving an answer (in the end the question stayed for me put and it is rudely not to answer), I will start with it, that in the same way I am securing pencil works as well as performed works with coloured pencils.
However I will divide the rest of the entry in two
The first part will concern securing the work upon completion of drawing. Shame to admit, but I am securing not all works. If I am doing it (and I more often do it as the time), I am simply applying it of hair lacquer (I am pilfering him from my Wife and didn’t probably still notice it). Lacquer is spraying in the distance about 20 – 30 cm from the sheet so that for the work a mist subsides. Putting two layers is usually enough – but it is deciding on it, whether after putting the layer of lacquer, the pencil isn’t sticking to fingers. If still it is possible to smear the work I am putting next layer.
The second part is regarding longer storing works and it is here variously. I have a part of works hidden in shirts but next put to the ring binder. A few works are in frames or clip frames. Both these ways safeguard works against dust, with damage / with bending. Definitely I am advising against keeping works in files. The file is too delicate and it is easy to damage contents for her.
Biggest problems while securing works:
– it is necessary to remember that darker places with more difficulty are protected – are for me beastly
– let us remember atomizations of lacquer about keeping the appropriate distance, if we do it too close then the work will become wet – the sheet can become deformed and is never sure that the sheet will be returned to a former form (very much I am paying attention to it and to do the will more of layers than to exaggerate the first time round).
– base on which we are securing the work – I up to the picture am putting paper towels so that don’t soil the work from the bottom as well as save my desk from next layers of lacquer
