My artist friends tell me that there’s a lot to love about a mechanical sketch pencil. The balance stays the same since the pencil size never changes, the line width doesn’t vary so you get precise control, and it cuts down on sharpening. May I add that they’re handy to tuck into a shirt pocket for quick sketching whenever you have a little time on your hands? This gem from Padrino has a pencil sharpener at the end and even comes packaged with refills. It accepts a standard 5 mm lead when you run out – as you quickly will since this pencil will be in constant use.
