Teh Pencil Thread!

[oddfish]

Which do you think is better?

Mechanical "fucking lead just broke" or just plain ol' regular "i gotta sharpen this fucking thing" style pencils? Which is your preference?

[Jaged]

Mechanical.


They both have lead. Lead will always break no matter what pencil it is in. With a old fashioned pencil you have to get your lazy ass up and sharpen it. With a mechanical one you just press a button once or twice.





....what the hell is the point of this thread anyway?

Quill and ink all the way!

not much point to it. just, what's the preference? some people in here draw, i'm sure. i'm sure everyone here has taken a standardized test. everyone's used one or the other in their life, so, which do you think is better? sometimes threads can be trivial, you know?

Pen! I <3 pens.

[Ouroboros]

I use mechanical when I sketch, and regular wooden pencils when I'm actually drawing.

[Neon Apocalypse]

Pencils are teh suck. I use pens.

[oddfish]

i prefer pen, usually, but that's mostly because when i scan pen drawings to photoshop they look fucking sweet and are really easy to edit, color, and what not. pencil doesn't show up so well. but, if i'm gonna doodle with a pencil, i use a mirado black warrior.. those damned things never seem to bust a tip. plus, really good for shading.

pin, my personal fav pen is the pilot g2, only problem is is that everyone uses it, i also like writing on paper thats stacked on top of 50 sheets of other paper, feels real good.

I use mechanical pencils during math because my teacher is such a nazi about letting kids get up from their chairs. Pen in everything else that requires real writing

I prefer pens but when I need to use a pencil I like mechanical because you always have to sharpen non-mechanical ones because they get dull really fast. And my writing looks really sloppy with them.
