Chung Hwa Pencil

The humble Chung Hwa pencil. It is actually the premier pencil in China. I have used them. Not bad at all. I have also used Sea Lion and Great Wall pencils.

I have also used generic pencils from hotels and convention halls to draw. Those conventional hall ones are usable but the quality is not there. They break easily.

Heheh. I used the Chung Hwa 2Bs to draw extensively in the past and found them to be satisfactory.

May I know if you have tried the Faber-Castell pencils?

Merv Kwok said...

ya i mostly used faber-castell lol. those were the days when i could draw mwahaha

Chuang Shyue Chou said...

I'm sure you could still draw?

Chuang Shyue Chou said...

Which type of Faber-Castell are you using?

Merv Kwok said...

I like Chung Hwa 2B too. I used to use them.

Chuang Shyue Chou said...

Ahhh.. Ange. Decent stuff. Not spectacular. I think it gets the job done. Heheh.

Merv, I am sure you can exercise control? I mean normally, a HB, 2B is more than adequate for sketching and so forth. One need not use everything from B to 8B, right? Show some of your caricatures man!
