Clutch pencil worth it for penciller?

I just got some of those too op. I like them. I'm self taught so I can't relate to having rules dictated to me but if it works, keep using it.

And how exactly did a lead holder "save him" / how is it going to help you improve faster? It sounds like your instructor is just full of shit tbhq. It's still only a pencil, use whatever you like best.

It's a meme.

Tools are just tools, if you're good you can do great things with a random chunk of charred wood. Do whatever you want, if you don't like the clutch pencil then don't use it.


Also pentel with thick twist erase is based pencil. I've got one in 70s brown got me through 8 years of university :D

I've been using Pentel twist-erases for everything since high school.

I've got a Mars Technico and it's my favorite pencil, though I pair it with a regular lead pencil for detail work. My leadholder's lead is generally pretty dull and I use it for lay-ins and loose drawings.

At the end of the day, just use the tools you're most comfortable with. I think there's some merit in lead holders because it lets you do an overhand grip pretty easy compared to a regular lead pencil and doesn't require sharpening like a standard pencil, but it's all preference.

>Not going to make it

You need to experiment and listen to yourself.

>Using a mechanical pencil for drawing
See first greentext
You need some thickness for line variance. 2mm lead holder is my sweet spot.

>Blaming the tools for your lack of development
See first greentext.


Try using pic related to hone your tips. If you don't have the stamina to sharpen your tools, take up stamp collecting perhaps.

>sticker not removed
Triggered. You can remove glue residue with rubbing alcohol.

Anyway; no rules, just tools. There's nothing wrong with mechanical pencils. If you like using them you may as well get a few more for different lead grades. A set of 0.3mm, 0.7mm, and .09mm pencils with your favorite lead grades is a good idea too.

I have a fuckton of mechanical pencils and the Twist-Erase is my favorite for writing. The rubber grip has a little bit of play with the barrel which I can't stand, but a strip of 1" Scotch masking tape wrapped around the barrel makes the grip mate perfectly.

There's no reason to sharpen a pencil constantly if all you want is a sharp piece of graphite.
