How to use the slice tool on drafting film

In this video, we will be exploring how to use a Slice tool on drafting film. Drafting film is a versatile and durable material that is commonly used for technical drawing and design work and also an excellent surface to use with coloured pencils. The Slice tool or pen cutter which has a ceramic blade, is a useful tool that can be used to make precise marks on the drafting film, especially handy for fine hairs on furry animals or whiskers.

To get started, you will need a Slice tool and a sheet of drafting film. Begin by placing the drafting film on a flat surface and making sure it is securely in place. Next, take the Slice tool and hold it at an angle to the drafting film. Carefully make the fine line you want to create.

One thing to keep in mind when using a Slice tool on drafting film is to use a light touch. The film is relatively thin, and applying too much pressure can cause it to indent or even tear. Take your time and be patient, and you will be able to create lovely fine lines with ease.

Overall, the Slice tool is a valuable tool to have when using drafting film as a surface.
