I've settled into a basic strategy for my pencils, which is - hard wood pencils for sketch/lay-in work, and mechanicals in softer and fine point as it becomes more technical. When you're doing the rough lines at the start of a sketch, having the point be too fine just creates a very precise wrong line, so you end up going over it multiple times and then erasing, which smudges it if you started with a B grade. Using the flat edge of a wood pencil keeps you honest about what kind of line you're making, and a hard grade with a smooth blend(like #3 Ticonderogas, my current go-to) gives you a light, non-smudgy, easily erased mark. Going with wood lets you adjust the point as you go along, and it makes for a lightweight tool as well; the metal-body mechanicals have a lot of heft and that adds up when you're going at it for hours and hours. The really fine mechanicals - and I recently picked up one of the finest around, the Pentel Orentz 0.2mm - let you narrow down to the tiniest details and even give a lot of technical accuracy to little doodles done from the wrist. You don't have to stay there or use it for the whole drawing, but it lets you mark in the proportions that you want to be exactly right, and by going down even just one lead grade, make them a little bolder so that they pop out from the rough. This becomes very useful if the ultimate aim of the piece is to have crisp inked lines; if you're working with fine points in ink, and you want the pencil to be tight and representative of the end result, you need an equally fine pencil point to sculpt the edges, and that happens in the 0.2/0.3 range.
I like the 2mm lead clutch pencils too (My preference is the Staedtler 780). You can really sharpen those to be incredibly fine points but can also use the sides of the leads for quick shading.
The best performers overall for drawing, are the Faber Castell TK 9400/TK 4600. Pentel Graphgear 500 0.5mm . As for sketching, Koh-I-Noor 5340/ 5347 are my go to pencils. PS Koh-I-Noor, also makes the best Red Chalk/Sepia pencils that also offers in 5.6mm !!! They are a perfect much, with the Canson 180 Sketchbook, because it has a slightly creamy tone, which all classic sketchbooks usually come with, because it makes sketches look warmer and way more beautiful!! I also use the Pentel P205.P203 but if I want a perfect circle or to trace a a line, nothing comes close to Graghgear 500's precision. PS I just ordered a Rotring Rapid Pro 2mm yesterday, even though I know it's built flaws, It resembles the Graphgear 500 design, so it looks it might make a good set for drawing! TK 9400/4600 make a better set with the Pentel P200 series. Those pencils I mention, are the best in my humble opinion. No other comes close.
A note about technical pencils and lead size. The color of a technical (drafting) pencil is matched to the size of lead it takes. Don’t believe me? Go back to 11:45 and look at the Staedlter. Notice the yellow band? Now look at the replacement lead. Notice the yellow cap? These high end technical pencils are like this because the engineers who used them back in the day created a standard for technical pencils and the manufacturers complied with it. Not every manufacturer does this. The Graphgear 500 does not follow this convention, but the higher end Graphgear 1000 does. Also, many technical pencils have lead indicators on them. That way you can buy several of them and have one for your HB lead, one for your 2B lead, one for your 4B lead, etc…
I happened upon a rotring and really love it if I am not using my Blackwing Pearl. The main advantage I have found to the mechanical pencil it is fits in most pencil cases whereas my BW needs longer case! Thanks for the great review.
I was really confused about which thickness of led to get. wish I had seen this video sooner. 0.7mm feels more comfortable to me in drawing than 0.5mm. Now I want to try the 0.9mm led! Although I think it will wear down too fast. Thanks for the video.
Hi!... Loving the chanel!... Well, about what Danny said,I thought the same and endlessly searched a 0.7 lead that made me 100% happy drawing, because I felt 0.5 restrained my movement, it felt like it wasn't my hand drawing. 0,7 was the obvious substitute for my hard relationship with 0.5 2b - but I always kept looking for something that I'd feel like it was an extension of my hand and eyes... And then, by chance, I found Pentel 0.5 4B leads 😁 I was so happy like if I had been searching for it my whole life. It can break easily if you have heavy hand or if you use a mech pencil that "reshape" the lead (I feel a Kuru Toga damages the soft effect I like), but, in my humble experience, Pentels or Tombow mech pencils work wonderfully with 0.5 4B. BTW I use the Pentel GraphGear1000 but I feel the traditional Pentel p205 works wonders with the 0.5 4B - and leave 0.7 and 0.9 for the GraphGear1000s. And to think my journey began with a bordeaux Rotring Tikky (which is actually the mech I use for writing with 0.5 2B🙃). I'm just an amateur who draws every time I can and I'm always in search for innovations, advice from artists and experts. Graphite and erasers are my parallel universe!😊 Thank you so much for such a good content explained with such clarity!... I'll come back for sure❤
Graphgar 500 is easily the best pencil for drawing. The most precise performance though,comes out of the Pentel Kerry! That's because it is made with watchmakers precision!! Graphgear 1000 and Kuro toga, are overrated. Can not reach neither the 500's nor the Kerry's performance and reliability!
I've just bought the Pentel Graphgear 500, and got to say I love it!!! , but I bought the 0.5, after watching your vid I'm going to have to get the 0.7 now, great vid btw
Pentel Twist erase, even though it's a pencil designed for students/writing, I find that my handwriting looks ugly using this pencil (compared with other Pentel's (difference shows even more) I like the comfort and it's great eraser, but it feels a bit awkward when I write. I like the Pentel EnerGize way more!, makes beautiful letters, but I admit, the Twist erase, has the better features.Finally, the Pentel Kerry is my favorite for writing and the Graphgear 500, can't be beat for drawing, with it's super high precision makes beautiful letters too, and it's super confy for short writing sessions only!)
For drawing,I'd get both 0.5 and 0.3mm Graphgear 500. 0.7 is ok for writing but can't draw as the 0.5mm. All my drawing, 90% if not more, is done with a 0.5mm. We must not press hard when we draw. If you're a heavy handed writer,then just pull out only 2 clicks lead on the 0.5 or 0 3mm pencils.
@@_.naughtyeggficx._ Most artists rarely use 0.3mm for very fine details, or when drawing in prespective, it's a nice pencil for adding details on the backround or distanced objects.. 0.5mm is arguably the most used size, for linework when sketching/drawing. The thicker leads, offer advantage only when writing,but it always be a matter of personal preferences. Some feel more confident with thicker leads, because they do the mistake to advance the lead too much. In my experience, the 0.5mm offers the highest precision and control when doing linework, but keep in mind, that pencil and the quality of the graphite lead, matter even more, on how much precision and control you get. Heavy pencil, is better for linework while lightweight pencils, perform better when shading. The best wooden pencils for drawing, are made by Faber Castell and the best graphite leads for mechanical pencils, are the Pentel Ain Stein.
hi. Is there a product similar to this product that draws 2 parallel pencil lines with a distance to each other and this distance can be adjusted? Something similar to a mechanical pencil that has two nozzles and the distance between the lines can be adjusted.
0.5 breaks easily?? I don’t think so. Might be subjective of course, but I usually only break .5 because I’m being extremely aggressive. 0.2 is difficult to control for me on the other hand, and I keep breaking them plus it tends to scratch the paper, making it harder to “erase”. I’m gonna try 0.3 to see if it’s easier to use and avoids easy breakage. But for someone new to mechanical pencils, definitely start with 0.5 because it’s very reliable and might be fine enough for you. Best reason to go for mechanical pencils is because you get a more consistent sense of precision. Not needing to sharpen them is a nice bonus. I would recommend mechanical pencils to anyone who’s new to drawing/sketching because they give a very nice boost, cutting down on the factors you have to worry about.
@@KevballArt I guess it’s all subjective, just wanted to add my 2 cents regarding the 0.2 pencil being potentially frustrating to use for beginners (as myself), while 0.5 after a little bit of practice shouldn’t be a concern at all in practical purposes, even for beginners. 0.2 might require more practice than I’ve put in, but even when it doesn’t break it often leaves visible grooves in paper after the lines are erased. Could be a user error, or maybe it’s a nature of the beast, maybe I should try different brands or types of leads 🤷🏻♂️ I’d like to use an EF fountain pen to go over the penciled lines, and 0.5 is just a little bit too thick
100% it really is all subjective and what you work best with. Appreciate the additional insights. A valuable addition for sure. I certainly don’t know everything and it is all based on my personal experience.
@@KevballArt I found the video useful, I like your presentation. I’m still a beginner when it comes to sketching and mechanical pencils especially. Since I can’t really use 0.2 properly (I keep breaking them), I heard of this Pentel Orenz pencils that supposedly designed with that in mind. They also have 0.3 so I might start with that in HB or maybe go straight for 0.2? I’m not sure if I’ll be able to see much difference in lines but extra lead strength would be useful. Have you tried them?
@@Emil_m I’ve tried a few which is why I settled on the ones I mentioned. They provide the clearest distinctions in line weight. I think I have a .3 in the last but was likely waaay too thin and broke.
I'm looking for mechanical pencil for drawing. I was considering one with a rotating lead so it's more uniforme/predictable line. However the video points out that it could be useful to have a normal one that gets slanted. So now I'm not sure which is better. Anybody tried rotating lead for drawing?
I’d say get both a see which one you like best. I like having the sharp tip form since it allows me to get even more hyper precision BUT any mechanical pencil will give you way more precision than a traditional pencil without having to sharpen. So test and see which YOU like best not just what I do :)
Yeah. It’s a good one. The only thing to consider would be brittleness. It won’t be as thick as others so it may break easier but over all still a solid go to.
Wrong. You're buying into a set of pencils ✏️ ✏️ ✏️ You're not getting away with buying just 1. The minimum set is 4 pencils ✏️ ✏️ ✏️ ✏️. The manufacturers have made this minimum standard. So you're going along with their expert professional advice. You're buying 4 matching mechanical pencils ✏️ ✏️ ✏️ ✏️ from 1 brand and you're going to have different leads for each 1.

Not quite sure what this is referring to and if this is an AI analysis of the video content…YIKES! Maybe try a different platform for a more coherent output. In any case Thanks for the reply. Hopefully it helped someone out there! 🤔
The best overall size lead I would recommend is .05. It is a good thickness and you can get thin lines as well. It’s also not super thin so it doesn’t break as easily.
I use .5….. Please, if you’re reading this, there will come a time and a day when you have to choose when to break “someone else’s rules” there is more than 1 way to get things done.. Draw for decades like I have and you’ll begin to understand..
Honestly any of the ones recommended in the video would be great. If those are not available you can always still use a pencil that you would get for school. They will be HB and .5 size lead.
I use graphgear500 daily to draw comic pages for 10 years or more, 0.3mm 05 07 09 none have failed me in years of use, and they look almost as good just slight brass showing through the tamed knurled grip over the faded silver anodizing, the barrel looks pristine, the brand marking on the barrel looks perfect, the balance is perfect, the patina looks charming, I bet rotring 600 would look ugly with chipped black paint everywhere.
I hope you're wrong because it's asinine even mentioning digital drawing in the same video as real pencils. Woodcase pencils can do things no mechanical pencil can do, and can do other things better. I do like mechanical pencils and have hundreds. I use many of them for art when in the field. But "leading" to digital drawing> I sure hope not. It isn't the same thing, and quite honestly, digital is as fake as it gets, and is better left to those without the talent to create real art.
Love the perspective. What I meant was that mechanical pencils allow for high precision and clean aesthetics which is what digital also provides. I think digital drawing is def easier and if you have the traditional skills you can really create amazing work once you learn how to translate them.
Can't believe digital art is so controversial to people like you. Grow up already, there's so many different forms of art and digital art is undoubtedly one of them, it still takes skill and hardwork, you don't magically become a god at drawing when you switch to digital... So stop gatekeeping your definition of "art" and grow up.
Don’t love the perspective. You are an absolute numpty, calling digital art something to be left to people without talent is like saying playing the piano on an acoustic piano is harder and more talented than playing on a keyboard. You have no idea what you are talking about, keep your mouth shut next time champ
