Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between graphite pencils and mechanical pencils?

KOH-I-NOOR traditional pencils are ideal for shading and artistic sketching because you can vary the pressure and line thickness. Mechanical pencils, such as those from LENIAR, are better suited to precise technical drawing, where you need a consistent tip width. One of the main advantages of mechanical pencils is that you don’t have to sharpen them, and the line stays equally thin.

What are Sakura Pigma Micron pigment fineliners used for?

These fineliners are a top choice for illustrators and technical draftspeople. They contain archival ink that is water-resistant and lightfast once dry, so it won’t bleed when combined with watercolor. They’re great for detailed linework, comics, or journal writing when you need lasting quality without the ink fading over time or bleeding through the paper.

What paper should I choose for pencil drawing?

Your choice of paper depends on your technique. For detailed drawing with KOH-I-NOOR pencils, we recommend smooth paper with a higher weight (g/m²) that can also withstand erasing. If you prefer soft pencils and shading, choose paper with a fine texture that holds graphite better. Avoid office paper that is too thin, as it wrinkles and gets damaged quickly when you build up layers of graphite.

How do I properly fix a finished drawing?

Drawings made with soft graphite pencils or charcoal tend to smudge. Protect them with a quality fixative spray, which creates an invisible protective film on the surface. Apply the spray in thin layers from a distance of approximately thirty centimeters. This helps prevent the artwork from smudging, gradually fading from exposure to light, or getting rubbed off when handled.

What tools do I need for precise drafting and measuring?

For precise work in the studio or at school, choose quality drafting supplies from LENIAR. The essentials are a sturdy ruler with a millimeter scale, a protractor, and a quality compass. If you work with technical drawings, you’ll also appreciate a drafting board, which keeps the paper stable and helps you draw accurate parallel lines. These tools make it much easier to create geometric patterns or architectural designs.
