A few of the pencils that hang around my table for quick access.
G is for Graphite
So many leads for so many applications. Woodless pencils like these go with me
when I travel for quick sketch. The 9B is my favorite.
Nice dark lines that smudge easily for shading.
This was done entirely with the 9B
A test done in my journal of all the different pencils in my arsenal.
This pencil in new for me & I love it! There are even several YouTube videos of this pencil about it's virtues. I think these people have too much time on their hands. Pick up the pencil & draw with it!
These luscious blocks of graphite in subtle colors can make large marks
and do wonderful things when added to a wet surface.
Do you have a favorite writing or sketching tool? Would love to hear what it is.
Currently my 2B pencil is the favorite. I am trying to learn how to handle charcoal sticks as well.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think that pencils are the best invention ever.

The simple pencil is amazingly versatile.

If I'm doing my 11x9" fashion sketches, I like the black Prismacolor double tip Brush Marker. Can get nice line quality with it and it scans well.
ReplyDeleteI'm using it on my initial shoe sketches for my A-Z Challenge:

For everyday sketching (and writing) I like the Uniball Vision Elite. So smooth.
When I use a pencil, I prefer using leads in a lead holder. I use the Steadler holder and whatever B lead I can find, the softer, the better! I dislike stopping to sharpen.
