I use pencils like they’re my lifeline.

Especially as an artist.

I love using lead pencils because it reduces the need to sharpen them, but I go through the lead so fast, I feel bad for how many pencils I’m throwing away.

I bought a large count of lead for a fraction of the cost I buy the pencils for.

This way, I’m wasting less. It’s nice to have backup storage, especially in the middle of a piece when I’m in the zone.

Now I can just refill, and keep going.
