Favorite Answer

Mechanical pencils for regular everday use, because then I don't have to bother sharpening them.

But for actual drawing, I prefer the old-fashined pencils because you can shade better with them.

Lead pencils

I like mechanical pencils for writing, .05 lead, because it is always sharp and I don't have to stop mid-thought to sharpen my pencil. I can't stand writing with a dull pencil. On the other hand, I like old-fashioned pencils for drawing, as it is easier to shade with an old-fashioned pencil and you get a wider variety of values (shades).

Mechanical pencils are WAY better. I like 0.5 lead the most.

I hate sharpening those old school regular pencils >_> although I gotta admit, some of them do look pretty cool.

Lead pencils. Never go to the sharpener again and never will you have to get a new pencil either.
