Creative Mark 5.6 mm leadholder

I had neglected to blog about a couple of the latest additions to my drawing accessories tool box. The full range of Intus pastel holders (#8, #10, and #123) is useful for holding messy dry media like round and square pastels of various sizes as well as artists' wax crayons that would melt in warm hands during long drawing sessions. The Creative Mark 5.6 mm leadholder kit is a value priced alternative to Cretacolor leadholders in the same size range.
Creative Mark leadholder disassembled into its 3 component parts. It features a rubberized metal casing with lead hardness degree indicator. The pencil comes with a 3.5" 4B graphite lead and a box with 6 additional 4B leads that measure 4 7/8"each and that smudge rather easily. This pencil is a comfortable lightweight introductory sketching tool suitable for bold mark making and larger scale drawing. Made in China.

Bit sleepless, so took out the new 5.6 mm leadholder for some doodling.
