The only thing new about these is that they are made in form of a pencil - ‘MetalPoint’ was the standard for artists before lead/graphite was discovered as a drawing tool - you can draw with gold, copper, zinc, silver,… … and the metal nibs of these current versions - likely, various companies may use varying alloys, but it’s all the same ancient MetalPoint drawing - ideally, use a paper that has a slightly abrasive toothy surface ! The main thing to keep in mind is that metalpoint, no matter which metal, does not create rich deep darks - look at the old drawings of famous ancient artists !

[@SunshineCatwoman]

I discovered these pencils last year, and I have to say that these are far from "never needing sharpening." I can't stand using a dull pencil, and these get dull. So I use a vegetable peeler to sharpen them. Personally, I don't use them for drawing, though. I have also found that the lead isn't securely fastened in some brands, so you have to glue them back in when they fall out. There are other brands with nibs that screw in, which I prefer because you can replace them instead of throwing away the pencil. The kids at the school where I teach are fascinated by them, though, so there is that novelty factor.

[@Nazareth434]

When drawing, keep,the pencil,sharp by doing a lot of 3/4 angle shading when not concentrating on fine detail maybe?

[@WarChallenger]

I honestly prefer to use mechanical pencils to sketch because of how the lead stays fine no matter what, but I do like the idea of a metal point pencil like true classical artistry. Might have to see if there are metal point leads to put into a traditional mechanical pencil and see how long it outlasts a standard lead.

[@somethingtojenga]

Ew, no... the lead is a cylinder with a 90-degree edge, which is way too sharp, not the right shape, and it tends to scratch as much as it lays down graphite. Sketching often isn't about doing anything 'fine,' and you'd definitely want control over angle and pressure. Have you ever tried pressing hard on a mechanical pencil? It snaps like a twig lol

I think with silverpoint what they did was take some paper and gesso. The paper might have been. I think the silverpoint just scratched away the gesso to reveal the paper underneath. Don't take my word for it though, I'm no expert. I just went down an oil painting rabbit hole awhile ago and happened to read about that a little bit as well.

[@NickUncommon]

I got one for note taking in my commonplace book and sketching out ideas for building furniture a year ago. It holds up really well, and I enjoy the simplicity of not having to worry about running out of lead which I experienced with the mechanical pencils, and the need for sharpening of the other kind of pencil with a wooden encasing of the lead (not english native, so I struggle to find the proper word for that kind of pencil). It does get grooved where it goes along the ruler, but this is not dimming the performance by much. I love mine, especially because I got the one that looks like a Lamy fountain pen and the eraser can live in the area, where the ink cartrige would usually be and not take up extra space in my pencil case. It also protects the tip to have a cap on the pen, when it is not in use.

This was the alternative to charcoal before graphite lead was developed. The tip was usually made of silver or lead. I doubt this is made of silver, mostly because silver point markings weren't erasable. Yours looks high quality, but there's a bunch at sites like Temu that come in Lamy Safari bootleg bodies for whatever reason, wouldn't expect anything good from those.

[@Gringle_]

I'm not exactly certain that this is the same pencil, but I found a description on another website about one of these "everlasting pencils". It described it as being graphite mixed with some sort of metal alloy, instead of clay or whatever, which makes it wear slower and not smudge (apparently).

These metal pencils leave behind a metal oxide on the paper (aka rust). The issues are that rust will spread over time and also react with the air. So I would guess the archival nature would not be that great. Would also like to know how it hods up to heat, moisture and other chemicals (eg watercolour). Does it blend ? Limited use probably and graphite or charcoal have stood the test of time.

[@sdfghrdnhjt]

I have since moved almost entirely to digital; before that I just had lots of electric sharpeners plugged in wherever I might be sketching. The instrument you present here is clearly more efficient and less expensive than what I was employing but I don't like the idea of having to change the nibs; not sure if I would use it... It got me thinking though: could the properties of a laser-jet printer be harnessed into a drawing implement; thus creating a near immortal apparatus? It could perhaps be powered by a miniature gyroscope that relies on the user's motions for energy.

[@straceshow3212]

I bought a set recently and they are only good for making a light sketch. It's impossible to get a dark line out of them no matter how hard you press down.

And hey, I have small canister kind of containers in which I empty most of my mini sharpeners for graphite, so I can use it later. Still in the learning process and I still have a whole lot to learn. I have heard about another tool, though Kirsty. A distance devider, I think the English name was. Very good for doing pictures in one size to another. You set the distance or scale, measure with one end, and put in the points with the other.

I think it’s actually maybe cooler than it eventually wears down. I don’t want my pencil to be necessarily sharp for every line. It’s nice to be able to grab a more “dull” pencil for certain areas. I’m thinking the best use for this pencil, is to wear one of the tips down a ton, so it’s great for broad shading… Then set it aside, like an attachment. When you need an extremely dull tip, it’s ready. As for the other “extra tips”. As they start to do, you can put them at side at varying levels of dull-ness. After using them for a while, you’ll have just about every sharpness of tip. From new to extremely dull. When you open a new pen, you can save the old attachments.
