You will also need 2mm lead (there are a variety of hardnesses and colors available), a 2mm lead sharpener (lots of different styles, I reccomend the Kum Automatic Long point two stage sharpener - it sharpens 2mm lead and it has a two stage long point sharpener for pencils - excellent points), and you will need an eraser, paper, ruler, and etc. Most importantly you will need creativity and imagination! Have fun. I bought lots of these (different brands and colors) for a wide variety of lead hardnesses. This one feels more solid in comparison to some other brands but I have not yet come across any that are unsatisfactory.

It doesn't have an eraser built into the tip. That is a pencil sharpener. It is a great pencil and will serve you well. The lead that comes with it is a little light in color for my tastes too. I bought the darker lead, but you should be good to go.

Pencil is ok by itself but if you want a really sharp point you should also buy a 'rotary sharpener'.

Well, you must have lead that fits it, if you don't already have it. For the finest lead, it can be hard to find.

Hi..Im not sure. Could you contact palomino directly..One pencil is hard and the other is soft..

Yes, it's exactly like a mechanical pencil. Once the lead is finished, you just replace it with the second one. It's a pretty simple mechanism and it comes with instructions.

it isn't necessary...any sharpener is fine.these are wonderful pencils,by the way.

You can but it also is difficult Since you'll have to determine how much of the actually drawing space is work area. That and its harder on your nibs getting pencil lead or ink on the tip of it can mess them up. Best thing would be to scan the paper and import it to the drawing program.

Hi Michelle. Pull out the silver button at the non cap end (the part which has the pencil point). Throw the lead in there! I love this pencil...have it in almost every color!!

I'm afraid I can't be much help to you. I bought it after checking all the pencil sharpeners I could find, the recommendations and details of each. It was for my great grandson who needed one for school work. I know it worked well and he liked it, but am not sure about colored pencils or water color pencils. Sorry.

I think it's one of the better models to have because it's not very heavy and has the rotating mechanism for the lead. In comparison to other pencils, it's more about the lead that determines breakage. This model has diamond infused lead which makes them a lot more resistant to breakage but good luck finding the replacements for it. If you're looking for good replacements, then get the super high polymer replacements from the office supply stores because they work just as well (if not better). They're also cheaper and easier to find.

Kirsten, you will need a smaller dia. tubing for wood Regular pencils. Something like maybe 1/4" or maybe smaller then that I'm not sure.

I bought the suggested sharpener - the leads still broke.... Maybe I was just unlucky but it happened with both sets of Prismacolor pencils I purchased.

Sorry, the answer is NO. The pencil set come with one standard leads, you do need to purchase 4H, 2H, on your own. What we are trying to show here is the pencil has the indicator that shows what kind of lead is loaded inside the pencil.

yes, I don't think you would ever need a replacement, also you get tips with your purchase, and an extra heating element. unit shuts down when not in use for a few min. to save tip and element. I use mine daily, never a problem. Pencils and a wide assortment of tips are avaliable.

I think it depends on your style. Not all 150 colors are essential because you can always blend if some new colors are needed. However 150 is a good choice for convenience. And that big box of pencils looks amazing!

The seller send me just the pencil in an envelope with no original wrap or instructions. It's simple enough to operate w/o any type of instructions. Sorry, not much help here, hope this answer your question.

I have never tried a pencil. Regular pens will work as long as the paper doesn't get wet. If that happens, the ink will run, and count may be messed up. What I have found works best is Check Writing Ink Pens. They work really well, and you can get 8 or 9 for what you would pay for one waterproof pen. Also if the pen is dropped into the water, if doesn't hurt as badly as dropping the more expensive waterproof pen in (the voice of experience!)

I have not had to pursue that issue yet. My guess? Office Depot or Office Max or some other type of store that carries a decent supply of office equipment. Not the greatest answer, right?? It's the only answer I have since I haven't used up even the first pencil (used it a lot...still haven't had to go to another pencil in the set yet).

None of the pencils you purchase anymore actually come with a built-in sharpener. I'm not sure why the manufacturer did away with this feature. What I would recommend is that you go down to your local drug store eg. RITE aid, or Walgreens; and find a Maybelline product similar to the Expert Eyes #151 Velvet Black pencil that actually does have a sharpener attached to it and take it home and use it exclusively for the sharpener. It's kind of a waste to buy a pencil that you're not going to be using for it's cosmetic applications, but at least you'll have a sharpener for your Maybelline #151 Velvet Black pencil.
