Someone was rattling off a phone number to me and I just grabbed whatever writing instrument was handy. It happened to be a yellow, #2 pencil. I don't think I've held one this year.
There's just something special about them. The weight of the line changes with lighter or heavier pressure. You can do cross hatch shading and smudge it to soften the lines. If it gets a little dull, you can sharpen it by shading in your doodles with the edge of the lead. You can erase.
Pencils are to written expression what black and white film is to photographic expression.
I almost feel like this should be written in pencil. I don't even have a "hand written" font to use.
