Pen or Pencil?

[Leela]

I use a pencil for drawing but I definitely prefer to write with a pen. It's much smoother.

 

[Pearls]

I prefer pencil. But I mostly use pen because I can never find a pencil. I voted pencil though.

 

[penguins]

i write pretty hard so pencils always break on me
also i'm a lefty so when i write the side of my hand goes over the lead and leaves a ton of pencil marks on my hand
the same happens with pens but at least it's blue
go pens \m/

I think you still can. I made my avatar using a simple ballpoint pen. I do agree that pencil is better in most cases for art though.

 

[cannedcommunism]

It depends.

 

[MeghanNewLeaf]

Pencil, although I sometimes right over it in pen since its darker. Both have their ups and downs.

 

[daniduckyface]

Pens because it's smoother and they don't break as easy c:

Pen for writing because I like to live dangerously. Plus writing looks terrible in pencil as well as being harder/less pleasant to read.



Pencil for drawing...At least until I've gotten what I want perfect. I'll then go over it with a pen and rub out the pencil because again, pencil looks nasty in comparison.

Not true. You just need to be able to use it properly.


Whilst I prefer drawing in pencil first, I'm no stranger to drawing with a biro. It's essentially all I did with my downtime during school or work should I have a period of time I have nothing to do. They're fine as long as you know how to use them.

Wow, my friend and I were sort of discussing this earlier. I choose pen, overall. I enjoy the feel of writing/drawing with one.

I hated using pen in school because I erased and rewrote nearly every word to make it perfect, since I knew someone else was going to read it and grade me on it. But now that I'm out of school, I'm more comfortable using pen for my personal journals since no one will see it but me. Though I still use pencil if I'm doing actual "writing"(poetry, fiction, etc) and not just diary stuff.

With that said, pencil all the way! I like using pen in my journal because of the aesthetic appeal, but I find pencils much more practical. Pens bleed through the paper, they stain, they blot, and I can NEVER erase anything I write, which is a HUGE issue for me...

 

[sylveons]

just a plain 2# pencil for both writing and drawing, although i use pens on occasion.

 

[Togekiss]

Anytime I use pens, my handwriting comes out really sloppy, so I prefer pencil.

 

[Cam1]

I am mixed. If I were right handed, I would DEFINITELY choose pen, as they are more comfortable and easier to write with. But I am left handed, so you can't read my handwriting in pen due to smears my hand creates. If I have to write a lot in a class and I ise pencil, I will look at my ring finger and pinky and they will be black with pencil lead. Ugh.

 

[WonderK]

Pen. I like seeing my mistakes.

 

[shinkuzame]

Pen because I prefer the fluidity of the way they write in comparison to pencils.

 

[Ninja_Fridge]

i love to use mechanical pencils and i also write neater with them. To bad its not an option

 

[MayorMina]

I like pens because they look neat and professional. My handwriting is also better with a pen!

 

[itsrainingnekos]

Omfg YESSSS! Mechanical pencils snap so easily

 

[snapdragon]

Pen all the way! I avoid using pencils at all cost. I would only use them when it was required (ex. scantron tests in school ;_;...). I don't think I have more than 1 pencil now!
