00:01Every artist knows the worst feeling, you're halfway through a shading pass and the lead snaps.
00:07So I went hunting for the best mechanical pencils for artists, and these 5 are the ones worth your money.
00:13Stick around, because number 3 is the one serious artists keep coming back to.
00:19015, Number 1, 0.5-2.0mm Full Metal Set
00:24Kicking things off is this all-metal mechanical pencil set, and the big win here is the range 0.5,
00:300.7, 0.9, 1.3, and 2.0mm all in the box.
00:36That means one pencil handles your hairline detail and your heavy dark shading.
00:41Full Metal Body, so it feels solid in the hand, and it's only about 4 bucks.
00:47040, Number 2, 2.0mm with Color Lead Refills
00:51This one's fun because it takes standard 2.0mm refills, and that opens the door to colored lead, which almost
00:58nobody else in this list supports.
01:00If you do a lot of underpainting, sketching over graphite, or colored rendering, this is your pick.
01:06Same idea as a regular pencil but way more convenient, and it lands around 425.
01:12Skipped, b-roll slash shot list notes and per-pencil on-screen text add when editing so each product gets
01:17a title card with price and lead sizes.
