FAQs about writing and drawing supplies

Choosing the right pen for your project is an essential step. The right pen for you depends a lot on your writing goals.

Ballpoint pens are dominant today, as many consider them cleaner and more practical than classic fountain pens. Ballpoint pens are disposable and dispense ink via a ball bearing at the pen's point. The ball bearing can roll in any direction, creating a uniform stroke of ink. A ballpoint pen works if you're looking for a low-maintenance tool you can easily use and replace.

Fountain pens let ink flow naturally from the reservoir through the nib, or the pen's tip. You can change the speed and angle of your writing to determine the width of your pen strokes. Although ink cartridges are disposable, you do need to manually replace them. A fountain pen works well if you want to draw expressive lines and varying widths.

A wide range of pencils exist, so learning your options will help you bring your creative vision to life. Some pencil types include:
  • Charcoal pencils: Made out of soft, compressed charcoal, these pencils create deep, rich blacks. Charcoal pencils work well for quick sketches or impressionist drawings.
  • Colored pencils: Most artists used colored pencils that are softer than pencils you might use in a classroom. Artist's colored pencils are made from wax or oil combined with various pigments and additives.
  • Standard graphite pencils: You'll find graphite pencils in various sizes. They are typically labeled from 2H to 6B. You'll choose different lead firmness depending on your goals. For example, if you want to try a technique called stippling, which lets you make very small lines, you will want to choose pencils with firm lead.
  • Watercolor pencils: You can mix these water-soluble pencils with standard colored pencils to build vibrant colors.

If you're searching for an alternative to correction fluid, you'll want to give correction tape a try. You can use correction tape to correct mistakes with typing or handwriting. You just place one side of the tape against the area you want to cover. That side is coated in an opaque, white masking material that covers your error.

Correction tape is dry and odorless when you apply it, making it a useful option if the smell of traditional white-out bothers you or if you simply don't like waiting for correction fluid to dry. Because correction tape is dry when you apply it to a document, it allows you to immediately start writing again. You can write over correction tape without waiting for any drying.

Correction tape is very useful in day-to-day life in an office or professional setting. This tool works well when you need to rapidly correct printed materials.
