Pencil Sets
What type of lead should i get for a mechanical pencil? Pertaining comic book art.?
I'm trying to create a comic book portfolio and thinking of switching to mechanical pencils. Or to see if it would help improve my art.
I usually use every pencil in my Dewert Sketch and Technical pencil set. But since I want to start practicing with mechanical pencils, what type of lead should I use? Or better put, narrow down. I'm interested in doing full pencils.
I recommend non-photo or blue mechanical pencil lead.

The nice thing about using this for mechanical pencils is that it's non reflective like typical graphite pencil lead. This means that scanning bed wont pick up as much light noise from the reflection of light in the scanner.
The other nice thing about it is that is doesn't smudge like regular pencil lead. A lot of comic artists use this type of blue (and also red) mechanical lead. I've used it for years and I'd never go back.
