And for the record I never used a pocket protector. Many if not most in my classes in college did. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootingstar Posted March 27 Share #59 Posted March 27 Best of luck Airhead in getting the right graphite pencils for yourself. Beyond my interest in drawing pencils for sketching of different softness and hardness ...and yea, charcoal pencil vs. charcoal stick.. my other use and interest are dip-ink steel nib calligraphic pens and ....calligraphic markers. Pen Nibs - Speedball Art Itoya Calligraphy Marker – Itoya There are certain brands where the nib is cut at a certain angle to allow greatest ease to execute certain styles of lettering. Some markers are just not great for holding in hand, comfortably to do certain styles of hand lettering, especially fine lettering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
