Blending stumps are the difference between a sketch with hard pencil lines and one with genuinely soft, graduated shading. Work from light to dark and blend in small, circular motions rather than one heavy pass, it gives far more control over the final tone. Keep the full set of six on hand so there's always a stump sized right for the detail, whether that's a tiny highlight or a large shaded background.
