The quality of the graphite and eraser, even the feel of it in your hand, varies greatly. Interesting about going black and white. I've been doing drawings in charcoal, but I want to explore colored pencils & have signed up for a class.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281288495129054688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-76431769188167597682013-03-23T10:25:53.256-04:002013-03-23T10:25:53.256-04:00Pencils are my favorite writing tool.

I was surprised to learn that archivists prefer graphite over ink because it is so much more stabile. Ink cannot erase, but over time it fades, can be washed away, etc. Ink is volitile. I love the Ticonderoga Laddie pencil. Thicker lead. Hefty.

I figure it took me long enough to learn to draw with a pencil, I'm not about to give it up. Plus, I think a pencil is so much easier than a mouse or even a stylus. I have no desire to learn to draw again.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.com
