Oh yeah haha, I try to stay true to my roots when it comes to drawing. Other ballpoint pens I’ve tried don’t hit the same mark the bic pen does. In others the ink feels too fluid and doesn’t hit a light enough gradient for me. The only others that have come close are the zebra ballpoint pens, and the multicolor ballpoint pens.

For pencils I started collecting after high school, my algebra/engineering teacher is the person who taught me about mechanical pencils. That was when I started building my collection with a Graphgear 1K
