Personnaly, I use a Tombow Homo-Graph pencil, one of the best pencils I�ve ever used.
There's no secret to it anyway; if you fell comfortable with it, then it's the right one for you.

Yep, that's the brand I was going to recommend as well.
The thickness and smoothness of Tombow pencils can't be beat.
They are hard to find tho. Faber Castell 9000 are alright too. |

For mechanical pencils Pentel PG1005 is your best bet.
Durable and almost failproof. been using it for 6 years now. It never becomes wobbly during use. |

| Tombow is good, especially now that you can't get a Blackwing 602 anymore |

I like Dixon Ticonderogas. Mars Lumographs are nice too. Koh-I-Noor products are always top-shelf.
