Contribution to article on materials
I had the opportunity to give some input in the making of a well-done article comparing the different brands and types of pencils available on the market at the following link, lately. This is a nice compendium for those wondering about the different options out there.
My personal favorites for most drawings are the Staedtler Lumographs, but an extensive list of available materials are studied in the article, with pros and cons and specific characteristics described with information gathered from a community of thousands of artists and from the websites of online retailers.
For those interested, you can read the article at the following link:
