  Tossup between 2 and 5. Forever locked in competition with their strengths and weaknesses perfectly inverted to each other. I used to use 5 for lineart and then shade with 2.

  #2 is classic. #5 has never let me down. But ive never understood how people use #7: shitty wobbly tip

  Despite not having tried any of them I guess I’ll pick #1 since it’s the most robust looking one.

  Currently I use one from Bic which works well enough.

  This still excludes the superior option: fountain pen. It writes so beautifully, even if it disadvantages the left-handed. And has high maintenance.

  #7, it doesn’t push up when you press on it.

  Hey made it easy with this one. 8 with the largest diameter lead I can fit in it.

  Does it count if I’ve already used #8 exclusively for the last 10 years.

  My current pencils in use are a Pentel graph 1000 for pro in .3mm which is my top choice. Then I have a kokuyo enpitsu in .9mm which is very cheap and comfortable to use, and a Sheaffer twist mechanical pencil thing that is just really fun to use and has a nice heavy metal body.

  I can’t say I would choose any of the above pencils, I don’t even see any lead holders (clutch pencils)!

  6, which I guess is pretty similar to my pick for number 5 on the pen post. Looks like the weight and style would feel best in my hand. Sadly none of them have my favorite feature of having fairly long and good quality erasers on it like my current favorite (non imported) mechanical pencil. Can’t remember the name off the top of my head

  I mean most of these look pretty uncomfortable, 8 looks the most comfortable.
