Pencils!life
One of my favorite blogs has a post about pencils. Since I’ve been sketching everyday and creating some new hand drawn art for a client lately, I thought I’d share some of my current favorite tools.
The PrismaColor Col-Erase Erasable Pencil (BLUE) is what I like to use for all my sketching. The lead is smooth (maybe the wax in it) and holds a finer point than most of my other pencils. It copies on a copier or scanner well enough and sharpens easily to short or medium point. (long points are for amateurs 
)
When all the other people in High School where clicking away with their mechanical pencils, I was using a #2 Dixon Ticonderoga, and LOVING IT. Dixon Ticonderoga was my first pencil love and I’ll continue to use them when I can. Their good for just about anything and they can hold a fine point through lots of sketches.
I discovered the BIC Atlantis recently and in my mind it is the finest mechanical pencil I have ever used. It’s great for fine detailed work and rests comfortably in your hand. The grip is soft and seriously puts me at ease. The eraser is a smooth white eraser that is just the right size.
The KUM wedge sharpener is just the right size for carrying around and produces a fine point that holds. It’s blade doesn’t cut too far back to destroy the lead and remove it, Instead the thick blades cut fine shavings away from the end of the pencil. It comes with extra blades that hold thier sharpness for a long time.
The Sanford Pink Pearl Eraser stick is an adjustable version of the Pink Pearl eraser. I like this because it’s easer to carry (since you can hold the stick in your mouth) and it’s easy to adjust for different erasing types. It’s best to use on standard sketch or copier paper and has been known to not work well on heavily textured paper.
Hope this gives any new artists some insights.
