Still got quite a few pencils to try and review this year, so better get started with the first batch. My nephew already got a head start playing with the
black magnetic pencil that resembled a wizard's wand. It retained its point well, featured a fairly smooth lead, and produced fairly
clean drawings with a nice tonal range.
Sample doodles drawn with the
General's 588 Sketch & Wash All-Surface graphite pencil. Got this watersoluble pencil as a
carded 2-pack at the local
Jerry's Artarama. Used dry it left a crayon-like texture on the vellum surface of a Strathmore mixed media visual journal. The lead tip wore down quickly and was a
bit crumbly. The dry marks quickly
dissolved into gray washes upon contact with a
waterbrush.
Some test doodles with the
Musgrave Unigraph 1200 2B pencil. A pencil manufactured en Shelbyville, Tennesse according to the golden imprint on its barrel. It was fairly smooth and clean to handle for such a soft graphite grade.
