What kind of pencil do you think would be best for drawing Anime/Manga styles? I’m not much of a sketcher or artist, I just like to draw cartoons, anime, etc.

personaly, I almost always use a 2B for sketching.

I would say, a 0.5mm HB mechanical pencil (or clutch pencil, whatever you wanna call it), or any HB or B2 pencil, depending on personal preference. you might want a berol fine point fibre tip pen to ink it aswell.

So mechanical pencils are better for drawing? I would think so because you don’t have to worry about it smearing like a normal pencil does when it gets dull.

Nice thin lines ftw.

to be honest, if you don’t press hard, a sharp point will last for a whole sketch, maybe two or three. but yah, clutch pencils are good

HEY GUESS WHAT





MEGA MAN COULD OWN THIS BITCH

wtf

I usually sketch with a 4H.

great tips. but the hardest thing for me to accomplish is setting time to draw.

A mechanical pencil is by far the best for details. One of my friends uses a Mechanical pencil for Dragon Art - Scales fur and what have you - but I normally use a 2H all the time, or HB, this type gives you a light outline of your drawing which you can then go over it with a softer pencil like a 2B-4B or even an Ink Pen.

And Rubbers (Erasers sorry) are essential, especially in creative drawing. It’s best to buy one THAT LASTS, like one of those Round and Circular ones, they last FOREVER....well kinda.

The Steadtler Mars Plastic is by far the most effective eraser out there in my oppinion, and I’m sure many will agree. putty rubbers and natural rubber erasers also have their place though. You generally don’t need one for rough sketching though.

and I would have to agree that mechanical pencils are, infact, made up of pure win.

will add more to this topic at some point

Dynamic Figure Drawing by Burne Hogarth.

Indeed, Steadtler rubbers are a major win. They last quite long and they are good quality at a good price.
The only problem is with rubbers in general is that they become covered in lead too quickly, but then again I tend to use mine alot.

Dude that’s pretty sweet
