Actually, I took several unlabeled chemicals about an hour ago.

Like my friend says, "Get a Hobby."

But, now that I think about it......no. I use a pen, nevermind.

Staedtler 0.5 Polo. One of the most reliable Lead pencils out there, in my opinion. Writes well, doesn't cost too much. Some other Lead pencils can cost up to 5 dollars.

Unfortunately for me, I seem to be writing a bit too hard lately (stress perhaps?). Damn lead seems to be breaking all the time. Or maybe it's low quality lead? I just got a box of pencil leads a few months ago, and they keep breakin.

I own at least one Pentel 0.5mm pencil that's older than some of the forumites. For lead, I use the Pentel plastic-and-graphite compound. It's much stronger than the Scripto leads (I think they're pure graphite).

What other drawing implements do you use? I use two different triangles (a 30-60-90 triangle, and a 45-45-90 one) and an assortment of French curves. I also have at least two circle gauges and an ellipse gauge (a very useful device, if you ask me).

I use pentel .7 pencils and leads. And various pens and marker, colored pencils. But the majority of my stuff is created by scanning then coloring on my computer.

For the hell of it...

I've used Pentel "Quicker-Clicker" pencils for seven years, ever since I found one under a bench at school... I use both .7 and .5... .7 more often 'cause it just happens to be the one that's kept in the pile of pens and pencils next to the monitor...

I can just imagine what's going to happen if this trend continues.
