Go back to basics with this mechanical pencil! There's nothing fussy or unusual about this Bic 0.7 mm pencil, which is why I love it for making pencil drafts on light-colored papers. Here's what you need to know:

Pencil features 0.7 mm lead - This lead is dark enough to make vivid drafts, but soft enough that it won't make indentations in your page (be sure to use fairly light pressure!)
Pencil comes pre-loaded with 3 pieces of lead - You can buy lead refills at your local office supply store
Lead size is compatible with Nico Ng's Lettering Composition Rulers and Grid Rulers
Pencil features an eraser on the back - for the ultimate smooth erasing experience, I recommend pairing this with a Staedtler Mars eraser

This white mechanical pencil is an essential tool for any calligrapher who wants to write on dark-colored papers! While it was formulated for quilters, this white pencil -- with its erasable ceramic lead -- has gained popularity among calligraphy enthusiasts as well. Here are some things to love about it:

The mechanical nature of this pencil ensures that it's perpetually sharpened
It comes with five pieces of white ceramic lead in addition to the lead inside the pencil
It erases guidelines easily (as with any pencil, be sure to draw your guidelines with a fairly light touch)
