Mechanical or wooden pencils?

[Hurricane]

wow. I did not expect this much feedback from a simple poll about pencils! I mean, seriously, who talks about pencils for 6 pages?

also, nice Faculty reference!

 

[Qonfused]

Hurrah!

 

[CyberPitz]

Oh dear god, not the Faculty.....
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Qonfused]

Oh c'mon, Josh Harnett is cute.

 

[Lizardizzle]

these all the way. Just at a finer tip.

and for the finer tip peoples (like me):

 

[L3N!N]

Mechanical. Totally precise, and they make you look like an aristocrat.

Oh yeah, Uniballs are good.

Mechanical. School has me writing hundreds of equations in a day, and their precision is much better while still being erasable.

Wooden ones are still better outside of a classroom though, since they're tough and cheap.

or

 

[Remus]

Wooden B pencils for drawing, and fountain pen, or regular pen for writing.

 

[Omnomnick]

Mechanical plz

I prefer drawing with a wooden pencil as you can be pretty tough on them, whereas mechanicals need a finer touch. In that respect, for accurate analytical stuff a mechanical is great for calmer approaches, but when I go to life drawing classes or if I find myself on top of some car park sketching I'll always take something I can be a little faster and rigourous with.

 

[nipples]

Wooden.

 

[lefty]

I love feeling wood in my hand.

 

[nipples]

That's hot.

 

[the cow says moo]

That's hot.

It's funny, I was just thinking the same thing.

 

[Seppo]

Wooden. Simple and effective.

 

[McGooTheWise]

I facepalm at this thread.

Mechanical btw. I'm lazy.

That doesn't make sense really. It takes more time to bring a mechanical pencil into such a state where it's fully operational than doing the same with a wooden pencil. Actually with the latter there's no such action required at all: it's always functioning properly. You will need to sharpen it from time to time, but the average time of sharpening a wooden pencil is less than the time invested into all the activation processes of a mechanical pencil.

With a wooden pencil you need a pencil sharpener handy.

With mechanical it's just clicky clicky clicky, provided of course you had the foresight to load lead.

 

[Kadayi]

Plus mechanical = less dead trees involved

 

[Asuka]

Wooden for sure, something about it.
