I was just wondering if someone could tell me what type of pencil I should buy to use with the Aqua Notes?

Hi, Michelle! It comes with a pencil. I agree with Veeral -- you will run out of paper before you even need to sharpen the pencil. Good luck!

It comes with a pencil. But, as far as I can tell it's a regular #2 pencil.

It comes with a pencil. You will run out of paper well before you need to even sharpen the pencil.

My suggestion is buy another set of Aqua Notes(I have three more back ups), but I didn't use up half the first pencil-you must draw/write furiously, lol! I haven't been able to find just the pencil on its own. You want to send me a stamped, self-addressed envelope, I'll send you my extras.

I've only used the Black Warriors. I can't imagine a better pencil than the Black Warrior but being round it does tend to roll. The Classic Yellows are hexagonal and won't roll. The diameter of the Black Warrior is slightly larger than a standard pencil. Overall the Black Warrior just feels right.

These are high end artists pencils. I've been using the Prismacolor brand for over 30 years. More color choices is always better, but you can still achieve any desired color you need through layering of different color pencil combinations with a smaller set.

Dixon Ticonderogas are pretty good. I buy them for my kids. They are the minimum quality pencil I will use if I have a choice. But I always reach for my Generals first and I save them for me since they do cost more and my kids do not appreciate the aesthetic pleasures of writing with a top quality pencil. I say Dixons are fine for the kids, but get Generals for yourself. Especially if you do extensive writing/note taking in pencil. Worth every penny. And General's is not paying me. (But if they're listening I wouldn't turn down a free box thrown my way. Hint.)

I looked for replacements for my Fisher pen at the big box store and they did not carry Fisher refills. I took my pen out and removed the cartridge and compared it to every pen refill they had and many looked like they would fit with the exception of the shoulder that holds the spring. So my guess would be to just go out and buy the refills for whatever pen you have. If you want the features of the Fisher refill, it is my advice to just go out and buy a Fisher pen.

I am not aware of one. The pencils are very elegant and reliable. I mostly use the pencil. You could go with the black color and match it with another pen.

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!

Use my Falcon mostly for calligraphy, put have used it to sketch too! I have more than one Namiki Falcon which enhances my ability to produce bold and delicate lines.

I'm not sure because the company that supposedly shipped my pencil did the worst ever job for shippimg, that it had fallen out en route. Look for other places to get this. My money was not returned by amazon, and someone tried to bill $500 worth of internet supplies right after this order! I had assumed everything came direct from amazon, but apparently not. Buyer Beware!

I prefer these Sakura Pigma pens for sketching. They hold their tip and last a long time. I would stay away from felt just because they seem to lose their point sooner. YOu might also look at Faber-Castell. While I don't like these quite as well, I know an instructor who recommends them. Hope this helps.

I don't think the core is as soft as a watercolor pencil, I can't speak to a pastel pencil I'be used mine a few times; like them to sketch out my subject since I you can erase if you need to change something before using water of course- I hope this helps

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.

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.

I used to tell the lady who orders my office supplies "Dixon Ticonderoga #2, No exceptions." Now, I tell her "Palomino Blackwing 602, No Exceptions". I find it a better pencil to write and erase with, but opinions vary.

So far, regular and colored pencils sharpen equally well. No problems so far:)

A .5mm Mechanical is perfect. You may find that it becomes your favorite pencil. It is always sharp. It makes a very thin, and consequently accurate, line. They are very common and can be found, along with lead refills, at WalMart and other such vendors.
