Hocus Pocus didn't speak, though he was great at charades!

Anyway, this drawing was made with my Zephyr by Wallace. The card was delineated via a 'Roundedge' pencil (maker unknown).

Speaking of,

WATCHER: "...it's truly remarkable that you were able to get the [9H] line to show up a all much less have something that a scanner would pick up"

It seems I've led some to think I always draw my cards with the featured pencils.
Fact is, I almost never draw with the featured pencils. Most of the time, I buy these pencils in unused condition (sometimes at a premium), for archival purposes (some in my collection were rescued from scrap bins). :P

If I were a better artist, I probably wouldn't hesitate to use some of these antiquarian pencils, but as it is, I'd feel guilty ruining these for my art.

No hyperbole---I feel it would, in some cases, be an actual sin for ME to sharpen some of these, if the purpose was for ME to draw with.

are (in my estimation) worthy to use antique pencils if they chose to. For me, the best I can do is hoard rare pencils for some future collectors/artists to use as they see fit.

NOTE: I do use some pencils from the 1960s and thereabouts, but the ones I use are common finds.

Anyway, let's look at the featured pencil,

The lettering is difficult to read, but this is the 'North Pole' by Empire.
