Tortillon Tortillon

Tortillon - Definition and Overview

A Tortillon is an artist's tool used to smudge and blend a drawing. It consists of a tightly-wound stick of soft, fibrous paper, and is typically sanded to a point at the tip like a pencil. This tool is used in place of the fingers because the skin can leave oils on the drawing paper.

The Tortillon is also referred to as a blending-stump.
