 Oh! Duh..  I might be.. you're 25? 
 Our 30s are creeping up on us :D 
 😉🤫 
 Hey @5c508c34 do you know? 
 🤣 
 uhhhh

hehe

...

no? 🥺 
 Multiple choice tests that you had to use an hb2 pencil or else the computer couldn't mark the test 
 ah that makes sense

well, shakespeare was also indecisive about pencils

2B or not 2B 
 Tis nobler to surfer a note than that of a chirp or like
 oh what out ragous fortune my good tanel 
 i'm not sure i quite understand 😅

uneducated of me, haven't read shakespeare's work yet 
 His tales were grand the English old. I would encourage you to find a Shakespeare in the park next summer. But be prepared for pomp (not the crypto bro) 
 i need a translator 
 I'll upgrade when/if I'm happy with what I can do with shitty tools 😂 
 Hands are still stupid... and it's only about 2ish hours  
 Everything is in proportion though its not easy drawing that small without a mechanical pencil. 
 Thus is why I'm doing hands. Small proportion hands are even tougher than full size. So.. full then scale down. Hopefully 😂 
 How much will a 2B stick cost you I can probably zap you the cost 😁  
 😂 no... it's not a money thing. It's a pride thing 
 😂 Yeah but it pains me you use shitty pencils. You can be be doing really well and crunch the whole thing is fecked. Its like painting with crappy brushes and half the hairs come off in the paint gah  
 I'll go shopping. I need a new book anyway 😊 
 Would love to see some of your work sometime though...  
 I will see what I can find to be honest I haven't drawn anything for ages so I should probably shut up 😂  
 👀 maybe you should go shopping too? 
 With you? 😂 Wont be too long....  
 🤣  
 Not a pencil drawing but I found a Nomeansno.

 Omg! That's incredible 
 I'm going to be studying those hands now 😅 
 I used to use mainly the hard pencils because they didn't break as easily then found the graphite stick really useful because they didn't. I found you can also  can get some really nice effects if you experiment with hard pencil over soft too 🙂    
 I just use a cheap pencil set, through 8b, but if I'm just piddling around i stick with the hards. I'm generally starting & stopping every 5 min, so finding the right pressure upon returning is easier
