Art Tools Mechanical Pencils

Is very smooth and the pencils glides very quickly.

As a staunch believer in "traditional" art-making practices and tools, I was very reluctant to even purchase an iPad. Once I saw how my friends (also "traditional" artists) made the seamless transition to digital art SPECIFICALLY because of Paperlike, my interest was definitely piqued. I loved it so much I actually ordered the Parperlike before I even received my iPad. Now I draw so much more than I ever did before, and it has even enhanced my traditional art-making practice. Most importantly, it helped me remember that don't have to choose digital over traditional -- just do both and get the best of two worlds! Much less of a curmudgeon these days :) Thanks, Paperlike!!!

Very simple to sync. Just as good as other top rated pencils.

Weighted - solid - easy to find in our drawer of crayons, markers, pens, pencils, etc.!

The best mechanical hard drive I had ever used.

I did not have to use it until now but they look as useful tools to have.

I purchased both the 10mm and 11mm Artisans and found the 11mm definitely sharper when comparing lettering at 400% on a calendar in a room shot, however at 4 inches the 10mm was amazing. Purely by accident while shooting tests with the 10mm with the Lumix S1r I focused the camera on a pad of paper I had written notes on in pencil. Along side of the pad were 8 or so new Dixon pencils with gold stamped lettering all sitting on a dining room table cluttered with computers etc. At f8 with the lens so close the background dropped beautifully, but what astounded me was the detail of the lead pencil writing on the paper the the gold leaf stamping on the pencils. Photo had Color, contrast and even a bit of micro detail in the paper texture and writing. Based on this and other tests, this is a great lens for very closeup experimental work. Colors are accurate and vibrant. Lens is seemingly well corrected for this type of work with Capture one correcting purple fringes. For room shots and sharpness stick with 11mm unless you need the extra angle.

I love this headphone stand. Plenty of room atop the stand for my cup of pens and pencils, while still holding the headphones. Great solution for a cramped desktop. Solid. Recommended.

I have just begun to use this paper and it seems to be of good quality. I am using it for black and white prints and have begun to color in it with marshall color pencils. It seems t hold the color in well although it does not get the same quality that agfa papers that I used for enlarging in the darkroom did. Still, a good quality paper and the colors look good on them.

Nice bag. seems well made. laptop and charger fit securely with room to carry notebooks, pencils, pens etc.
