The
e+m Holzprodukte Crayon Graffiti 1983, the latest addition to my 3.0 mm leadholders collection, is a well-balanced 3.2 mm leadholder made from natural beech wood that feels great in the hand. Very comfortable for hours of doodling fun. Chubby leadholders are also well suited for little hands. My little niece couldn't put down the
Scribbler 1600 during a doodling session when she was only 2 yeras old.
For those of us that occasionally enjoy sketching with hard-to-find fairly break-resistant 3.0 mm drawing leads or collecting mechanical
clutch pencils, this
Dick Blick clearance bundle deal for under ten bucks was hard to beat: a
Savoir Faire Graffiti Pin Head Colored Pencil 3.2 mm leadholder and a Lama Li 6"X8.5"
Bubble Book with 65 lb.
bright white laid pages suitable for sketching and journaling with dry media, brush pens, and markers.
The 3.2 mm pink crayon lead works quite nicely for coloring though its rather soft and brittle. It arrived broken and stuck inside the
Graffiti leadholder. I had to bang it repeatedly against my drawing board and poke it with a 3.0 mm HB graphite to coax the pink waxy fragments out of the leadholder chamber.
While designed for holding all surface crayon refills (3.2 x 70 mm), the
Graffiti 1983 can also hold 3.0 mm graphite leads.
The pink waxy crayon lead is rather crumbly and does tend to get stuck on the clutch mechanism. The color marks are not erasable even with an electric eraser. The coloring lead is fun to play with, but I decided I rather keep a cleaner more reliable
Caran D'Ache Technograph graphite lead in the
Graffiti clutch pencil. I have even found an online source for
the tube with 12 color crayon refill leads, but I have not tried this retailer yet.

As a child I dew like Raphael but it has taken me a lifetime to draw like a child
