is this pencil oriented to more drawing or writing?

I don't really draw -- that being said -- for some reason I imagine it might be a nice pencil for drawing. Lead is soft and I like writing with it because it's almost effortless. The downside to this is that it requires frequent sharpening, especially since i also prefer a very sharp point as well. And...since it writes so dark, doesn't erase as easily sometimes. For me, it's a very comfortable pencil. Wow, realize how OCD I sound. Anyways, hope this helps...

I've heard that both artists and writers love it equally and that Shamus Culhane (animator from Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs) was buried with his in his hand, as per his request.

I like it, though I was aiming for a diff. Lead size... It's nice, just keep external eraser handy... The one on it works good but when doing art work it's not adaquit to me... But all in all I really love it!

Definitely not. I had a squishy a gel pencil before this and after getting this one, I use it every day! The text that you write with this pencil is much clearer and the pencil is really comfortable to hold in your hand.

It is a standard 2/HB pencil. To make a pencil mark stand out more easily using the same pressure you would need a softer pencil lead (2B, 4B, 6B) which will also smudge more, or paper that's less shiny. Anything that gave you a dark line without smudging and without bearing down harder would also probably be very difficult to erase, like a crayon. If that's not an issue to you there are many pencils with dark, waxy centers, not all with thick leads. They can be great for drawing. Don't know how they'd be for extensive writing. This is the best standard writing pencil I have ever used. You can get a smooth line with light pressure, or you can bear down without snapping the lead, which is always perfectly centered in the wood. The erasers work great. I will happily use the yellow Ticonderogas, but if I'm spending my own money these are what I always get.

Yes you can write with it on as long as you don't grip your pencil using your palm.

I can say yes for highlights and smaller details, but I don't know on the graphite drawings (I use it for coloring with copic, and craft projects)

While I like the pencil very much, I can't say I've noticed the "rotating" lead feature. But that may be the ingeniousness of it, right?

I would say the more colours the better. But depending on what we can afford that is always the question. I have 72 pencils and I wish I had 120. But the colours are very nice. And it is a good pencil and if handled with great care they are going to last a while. Great choice for art class.

They are similar to thin crayolas like the other person mentioned. If you're looking for more of a pen tip style look at the frixion pencil like pens.

Usually when I write, it's a grade school level. After buying this pencil, I went to write my wife a note telling her that I will be home late, and unintentionally wrote the constitution, the Bible, and 3/4 of the known Shakespeare works, so I'd say it's a pretty sweet pencil.

Yes, it is. The words you have to drawn are generally simple words, it just might be hard for them to draw.

They are pretty good pencils. They write more smoothly than a cheapo pencil.

The tip is rounded so if your looking for a sharp point it doesn't have one. But from my own experience you should be able to draw and write with the stylus tip.

I have used it a few times to write with and a couple times to draw with and it seems to do just fine; but I do not know if I would use it very often for either.

You can change it to indicate the hardness of the lead in the pencil. I like to have 2B in pencils I write with. HB is pretty standard, bit a little too hard for my liking.

It depends on your work style. I find that it does not. If you tend to be more gestural rather than precise, then maybe, but if you can draw on a piece of paper, you can draw on it.

You can write just like you use to. It will not recognize your hand, its impossible to do so.its easy and 99% accurate for handwriting. If you want to draw, its not as accurate as handwriting.
