ITT pencils only you like
>>7855593Don't nips use these all the time?
better than the 9000.
>>7855593>>7855686So what's the difference you notice when using these as opposed to a cheaper pencil?
>>7855717I'd say a writing pencil can move in diagonals well, but it can't skate like a drafting pencil can. It's like asking why you can't use roller-skates on ice.
>>7855686>doesn't actually look like the box coverDamn Germans and their false advertising.
Why are these pencils considered better? What makes them different
>>7855753Imagine drawing with a dark, crisp, beautiful line that can do everything you need it to. It can step lightly like a dancer, it can sketch with the boldness of a great statesman or impresario, or it can carve a picture out of rock like the greatest of sculptors and introduce contrast that would make a marker blush. The HI-UNI is all that and a bag of graphite. It is the real deal, my friend, just be thankful that you share a planet with it.
>>7855593These are amazing but nearly impossible to get in Europe and if you find them they are wildly expensive. Tombow or Staedtler are the next best thing.
>>7855758>Tombow or Staedtler are the next best thing.yikes!
>>7855758>Tombow or StaedtlerNever saw the appeal. I guess it has something to do with tone control? I've switched it up and had a tumble with the Tombow mono 100's, and experimented with the Staedtlers (although they were never willing to party). The truth is, they've got bland written all over them. Me, I'm a chisel-tip man through-and-through and I guess there's just no beatin it outta me.The old Sanford Turquoise before the move to Mexico was basically on par with the Mitsubishi Hi-Uni. I still prefer the slim barrel on the Turquoise, since you can throw her around like a bridesmaid after she's had a few drinks at the bar. The Hi-Uni is a different girl altogether, she'll flirt with you and accept your invitation to dance but she's keeping her skirt below her panties and you better come correct. The Bruynzeel by contrast is like a timeless Netherlandish milkmaid after she's had a few kids; coarse, rough around the edges, sure... but still able to outshine her flashier, trashier cousins.

>>7855771just like to see a man flex?
>>7855593I just use shitty exam standard papermate pencils... am I... Am I not gmi guys?
>>7855776you're a masochist, switch to studio graphite hb2s
>>7855593you aren't japanese, you can't use these pencils.
How are there this many people here who've never used an artist-quality pencil? They're not even expensive. Does anyone here DRAW?
>>7855796My weapon of choice is a ten cent bic blue cristal. So I suppose I don't draw.
>>7855771Something from my current sketchbook that is a little more rendered than a sketch, I'm not going to post my fully realized stuff here. >>7855758 is me.Fuck all you contrarians btw.
>>7855768Lol Bruynzeel fucking sucks. They are grade-school pencils over here..t dutchfag
How about i post pencils nobody likes? THESE THINGS SUCK
>>7855796>"Noooo, you can only really start drawing when you get the highest quality materials!"No. I will continue drawing with my shitty cheap materials, and I will have fun doing so. You will not shame me into submission!
>>7855818Haha, essentially anything that your family members stumble upon and get you as a gift, because you the 'artist of the family' is guaranteed to be shit.Appreciate the sincerity, but still a shitty gift.
>>7855593I have a pretty heavy hand and only use hard pencil for architecture. H2 is the best balance for me. I do wonder if, with architecture now being full digital, my precious Hs are at risk...
>>7855807>Lol Bruynzeel fucking sucks. They are grade-school pencils over here.These specifically and no other. You should be able to draw with them.
>>7855824I use them to sketch but only on high-quality paper
>>7855593How do I sharpen my pencil for wide mode so i can sketch with the overhand grip?
>>7856311If you're not sharpening and refining your pencil with a knife and sanding block, you're ngmi.Pencil Sharpeners are for plebs and hobbyists.
>>7855796Sorry i'm too busy drawing to stare at my pencil i will never use.
>>7855818Derwent pre-2021 used to be good, better than faber castell even, I used them a lot in my class back in the day. But then they started being nigger with their lead and graphite mixing, sometimes it will caused a grainy texture that could harm your pulp during sketching and inconsistent graphite in each level - sometimes your 2B can become 3B or even B pencil, there's almost no distinction between one pencil to another. It was awfulon the bright side though, atleast they are still keeping their comfy weight in their pencils, I give them that
>>7856822So, what's a good brand, anon?
>>78555932H for drafting2B for the finished linework
>>78568582B for sketching2B for Finished Lines2B for shading2B for everything2B is the only pencil for me.
>>7856847Well the usual: staedtler mars, faber castell, tombow, etc. Most pencils are good, they are normal and can be used to draw, its just derwent that are being problematic lately. I personally havent draw something fully in graphite in a long time, at best I use 2h pencil to draw a clean sketch for my watercolor artwork
>>7856873i use 2B to create my own reality
>>7855593
>>7855818>>7855822My dad got me some temu pencils and they're legit better than Derwents.
>>7857648>temu pencilsAnd they're probably poisoning you with some foul chemical that's banned everywhere except china, ha.And not to go off on a tangent, but I'm totally doing that here; temu pisses me off - everyone bitches and moans about how industry and production is leaving their country, but then they go onto sites like temu and buy the cheapest shit they can, proving exactly why industry is leaving. If you're not willing to pay first world prices for things, prices which pay for the first world paychecks of the workers, then those factories are going to leave the first world for somewhere cheaper.Not to mention the side-on effects of this, such as keeping our wages stagnant, because now our wages go further when buying cheap foreign crap (meanwhile, not keeping up with the important things, like groceries or housing).Always buy domestic products, or from a fellow first world country.Out of place political rant over.
>>7857665Again, art is not for the poor.
>>7857671It goes beyond art, anon. Buying shit so cheap makes everyone poorer.
Hello GOAT
Real pencil sketchers swear by Dixon Ticonderoga black. Super cheap and awesome erasers. Lead holders for more rendered/finished work. Or just plein air sketching without worrying about bringing a sharpener. The big wooden one is super fun to draw with and can go extremely dark
>>7858006Forgot pic
>>7857925Pretty sure everyone use that thing
