do you prefer normal pencils or mechanical pencils?

[HungryForCereal]

just a random question. I find that my handwriting is always better when using a mechanical pencil.

 

[Alienfish]

mech def. those wooden lead ****s hurt my thumb area so bad. also pencil sharpeners only eats them so good ugh

 

[Acruoxil]

I don't mind either, they serve their purpose. Mechanical pencils can be fragile if you go for the cheaper ones, but the same goes for normal ones on most days. Mechanical pencils are convenient though, you don't need to sharpen them.

 

[Dinosaurz]

I'm old fashioned

 

[Zandy]

I prefer normal pencils. I always press really hard when I write so if I use mechanical pencils I always end up breaking the lead.

 

[CrossAnimal]

Mechanical, 'cause my pencil sharpener broke.

 

[Celestefey]

I usually write in pen so when I do use pencils I just stick to normal ones because I would rarely use a mechanical one. Also for drawing I have special pencils I like to use for those. ;v;

 

[jiny]

I only use mechanical pencils because I find normal pencils hard to write with. I hate when the lead of a normal pencil gets soft and when you write in a journal, it looks so faded and it's just ugh.

 

[Megan.]

I prefer normal pencils.

 

[emolga]

definitely mechanical pencils! my drawings always come out so much neater when I sketch them with mechanical pencils. i hardly ever have any, though.

 

[beffa]

normal, can't stand mechanical ones

 

[GalacticGhost]

Normal pencil. The lead in mechanical ones is always thin. While that is good for writing and drawing, it's not very good for shading with. Plus normal pencils tend to last much longer for me than mechanical ones because mechanicals break all the time for me and I'm pretty sure normals have more lead than mechanicals.

Normal pencils.

I always found the 'lead' in mechanical pencils to break really easily. The price/quality of them didn't seem to matter very much to how long the lead lasted without breaking.

They're better for writing I guess but I can't stand it when writing is done in pencil.

 

[Miele]

I usually write in pen because it is easier for me, but when I have to use a pencil, especially for math, I use mechanical pencils

 

[Goth]

Normal Pencils

tbh mechanical pencils should die

 

[Paperboy012305]

Normal pencils. I don't like mechanical pencils because the lead breaks off too easily. Normal pencils are just easier for me.

 

[radioloves]

Yess, mechanical pencils! easier to manage, but sometimes depending on the lead point it breaks often and you have to buy lead overall seems more sturdy, then pencils are more stylish but shapening is kind of a hassle, but good for drawing/sketching.. ahaha

Mechanical pencils, since the wooden ones get eaten by pencil sharpeners so easily, and are a pain to get the end sharp. Not to mention you can replace the erasers too on most of them, whereas regular pencils you can't.

 

[boujee]

normal pencils
i really don't like how my writing looks in mechanical

 

[Twisterheart]

Mechanical. Wooden pencils are just a pain to write with, literally. I never learned how to properly hold a pencil, so whenever I write with a wooden pencil it digs into my fingers.
