I Have Two Blue Pencils
November 2, 2009
The title rings true, I have two blue pencils and I am quite fond of both of them. I suppose writing in pencil reminds me of my childhood plus I like being able to shade and erase in my drawings. For most of my projects I roughly draw them out in pencil multiple times just to get a feel for what the project will look like. This usually involves a lot of erasing. I could use google sketch up for most of my layout (and I do) but I really like the feel of a pencil drawing and having a sketch book that I work from.
One of pencils is the classic Staedler which I think I purchased from Staples. The second “shorty” pencil is a lead holder from Worther Germany. I purchased this lead holder from Stylus right here in Edmonton which is a great store to get fine writing utensils, I try not to go in there because if I do I will be coming out with something. That being said you should go and check it out and also buy a pen or pencil and a notebook while you are there. I love that both pencils are the same colour it makes them feel a bit like they are a matching set. Also the type of blue that the pencils are is quite interesting and a colour that you do not commonly see.
To briefly conclude these pencils are awesome because:
1. They are both blue.
2. I could use them to write in the rain or in out space.
3. I can use them to erase and to do shading.
4. I can use them to write on lots of things, paper, wood, plastic, cupboards the wall etc…
5. Did I mention that I really like the colour of these?
I encourage you to try using a pencil more, carry one with you they are super handy and especially useful if you work in a shop.
