Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about drawing supplies

  • Graphite pencils are for regular sketching and shading in gray tones. They come in different hardnesses – harder ones make lighter marks, softer ones make darker marks. Colored pencils have pigment instead of graphite, so you get colors. They’re good for colored drawings and blending different shades.

  • On regular drawing paper, they usually don’t. On thinner paper like notebook paper, they might show through a bit. If you’re worried about bleed-through, test on a corner first or put a sheet underneath while you work.

  • Illustration pens are for clean, precise lines – things like technical drawings, comics, inking over pencil sketches, or detailed line art. They come in different tip sizes so you can get thin lines or thicker ones depending on what you need.

  • Yes, they work well together. A common approach is to lay down marker first for big areas of color, then add details or blend with colored pencils on top. Just make sure the marker is dry before adding pencil, otherwise it can get messy.

  • If you’re just sketching casually, one or two pencils work fine. If you want more control over shading and line weight, having a few different hardnesses helps. Harder ones (like 2H) are good for light sketching, middle ones (like HB) for general work, and softer ones (like 4B) for dark shading.
