Have you ever order or been thinking about ordering a Diamond Painting you probably have heard the words full drill and partial drill. The diamonds in the Diamond Painting world are called drills, but what is the difference between full and partial? I will describe it for you below. What is a Full Drill? In full-drill diamond painting, the canvas is entirely covered with diamond resins. As a result, the painting area of the canvas is not even one percent visible – it's diamonds all over! Thus this gives the more filled and sparkly effect with an appealing result. What is a Partial Drill? A partial-drill diamond painting covers only a portion of the canvas. The uncovered portion is the background. It can be a solid textured background or can also be printed with detail to match the image, and you only have to put diamonds on the area with the signs. Newcomers in the diamond painting club tend to begin with a partial drill to practice and enrich their skills before moving to the full drill.
