Best Mechanical Pencil For Drawing 2016

I like the way it makes you feel like you are drawing with a pencil on paper than an iPad.

Paperlike provides protection & tactile / audible feedback that makes drawing with the pencil much more natural.

Great quality paper. Color came out outstanding especially for pencil drawing texture! It's a little pricy...

The overall sensitivity of this drawing tablethello's artwork to be drawn as if you were working with pencil or Charco

Great lead supply for my mechanical pencil. These are very thick and so far, not a single has broken even when I extend a bit. Very happy with these lead refills.

I very quickly got used to Paperlike and found that it made iPad drawing more sensitive and the Apple Pencil much more controllable. I would advise anyone to follow instructions for applying Paperlike and even do it in steamy bathroom to avoid airborne dust. Paperlike also treated me with great patience after making stupid mistake ordering wrong size! Will definitely reorder.

Love this look. Feels and is designed like a pencil. Easy to use holds a charge for days. The writing is the same as writing on paper. Great for taking notes and drawing. I did notice when drawing you don't have it touch the screen sometimes.

The screen protector is very nice to have on my iPad and drawing with it is so much better than drawing directly on the glass screen itself. It has just enough grit to give the pencil some resistance when drawing. It also gives the screen a very smooth feeling and my hand glides across the screen effortlessly, unlike the sticky feeling of the glass upon prolonged use. Also, I've watched some reviewers who say that it gives their screen a rainbow-y effect, and while I've noticed some distortion, it was insignificant enough that it has never bothered me and now I don't even notice it. This may be because of the upgrade given to the Paperlike 2. It also helps that the matte screen reduces glare and fingerprints. The only issue I could possibly see with using this screen protector is that it will gradually wear away my pencil's tip and that the exposed tip will scratch at the screen (and hopefully not my ipad's screen if it does well at protecting it). However, this is a common issue with all matte screen protectors, and seeing how much finer the grit is on the Paperlike 2 compared to some of its other competitors, I believe my nib will last longer with this than with the others (and save me some dollars from having to constantly buy new tips). All in all, I am very happy with this product and I will not hesistate to recommend it to anyone who wants to have a better iPad experience!

For me, the Paperlike screen protector has made drawing on the iPad a viable alternative to pencil and paper. No more sliding across the screen like a ballpoint on glass. With an Apple Pencil there is real friction when using both the point for drawing lines and the edge when shading. It’s not exactly like paper but pretty close. Take a lot of care when applying the Paperlike protector otherwise you will get bubbles between the screen and protector. These won’t affect the drawing but might be a small distraction.

The pen is such high quality and works perfectly. I can even use is to shade a drawing by using is like a pencil on it's side, amazing.
