When it comes to sketching and shading…some people get confused that which pencil should they use. Pencils matter a lot when you wanna work efficiently.

All your time and efforts may go in vain without the selection of proper pencils. Different portrait artist in delhi like different types of pencils. I used to sketch in pencil since the beginning. Then I wanted to work with some better quality pencils to do the sketching, but couldn't decide what pencils to purchase...I definitely made the right choice here.

Staedtler Mars Lumograph and Faber-Castell pencils!

These pencils are perfection. for anyone who has ever used a 'cheap' pencil, you will notice immediately the difference. These pencils are smooth, and they glide onto the paper with such ease, like a knife through butter...wonderful. The way they blend on the paper is really heart winning. There are no 'gritty' bits in the lead. The pencils are not round, they are hexaganel, which personally, I find fit easier in the hand, and do not slip from your fingers. They also sharpen without breaking (use ...
... a Staedtler sharpener). I use both normal lead pencils and mechanical pencils of both the brands. As I have been sketching for quite a long time now, I would say that Staedtler Mars Lumograph and Faber-Castell pencils are now my only choice. Buy Staedtler Mars Lumograph pencils with confidence!!!
