Pilot Color Eno Soft Blue Set, 0.7mm Mechanical Pencil + Mechanical Pencil Lead 0.7mm, Soft Blue, 10 Leads(Japan Import)

This is a perfect light blue mechanical pencil. As with all Pilot products, this is a high quality color pencil lead that writes very smoothly. The pencil is light enough to not show and dark enough to show when you want it to. I use it for doodling and taking notes at work. It helps me bring attention and focus to certain items on my notes. I love this pencil so much that I am looking at purchasing the whole set! Thanks

Improved my art technique and productivity! Great way to practice your art skills

I have been looking for something to use for undersketching that I intend to later cover with ink and then erase the original sketch. I have seen manga artists using these so I though I would give it a try. As far as the mechanical pencil itself, no complaints. I like that the metal feed tube is able to fully retract into the plastic body so it won't snag on anything or get damaged. I prefer chunkier pencils and graphite holders, but this pencil has a good feel thanks in part to the rubber grip. It works/feels equaly well in either hand. The Eno Soft Blue lead was my main focus. I wanted something that was easy to erase and erase completely. I did some side by side comparisons of this lead vs a typical HB graphite lead using modern white "stick erasers" and kneaded rubber erasers. As far as overall ease of erasing, this lead was about the same as graphite on typical copy grade paper and smoother notebook paper. However, as far as the original lines being completely erased they didn't quite pass. I could always see just a faint amont of blue left behind. But one would reallllly have to be looking for it and know where to look. This may not be the case on a higher quality paper or paper made specifically for manga work. I do like the tactile feel of the lead on the paper. It is very smooth and consistant. Creamier than graphite. It has a great look and I almost hate to ink over it.

I was on the lookout for an affordable mechanical colored pencil for a while and I love this thing. I wanted something I could sketch with that wasnt grey or black, so it would be easier to see when I ink, or wont show up as much. This is perfect for that :) The eraser isnt great, its small. But like, I expect most people will have another eraser on hand. Id say its a little tougher to erase than regular graphite, but thats to be expected. Also, it shows nice on black paper! not as great on mid tone paper since its a mid tone itself.

It draws and writes pretty good. Works nicely but does not erase too well for me. It did not really break on me but I was drawing lightly.

I liked this enough to buy a second one. I use it for underlining in my Bible. It has a nice soft lead and is easily visible.

This colored pencil is perfect. I bought this as a gift for my mom because it is her favorite brand and color for the art she does. She has asked me to add this to her Christmas list for years to come. The lead is sturdy and does not break easily.

I have always wanted to try a blue pencil. I like that this does not need to be sharpened. It erases easily. And it allows you to ink over easily without all the lines getting in the way of your view.

Hasta ahora usaba los lápices prismacolor o col-erase... pero éste portaminas es PERFECTO. La mina se desliza suave sobre el papel, se borra perfectamente y agarra una y otra vez aunque hagas muchas pasadas. Es ideal para el boceto. Lo llevo a todas partes. Estoy encantada.

Seems like a nice quality mechanical pencil. The accent colour of the pencil matches the hue of the lead exactly. The lead is smooth, and comes out as a light non-photo blue-- perfect for sketching. I love it!

..perfeckt für Skizzen Die Miene ist weich und fühlt sich gut auf dem Papier an und die Farbe ist sehr schön. schmiert nicht wenn man mit Markern drüber malt.. Kann ich jeden empfehlen Ganze 5 sterne werden vergeben

Perfect to rough out sketches until you get the form you want and then trace over with something darker. Best part is when you scan it the blue lines don't appear just the darker lines afterwards.

Wasn’t sure if my son would like this but he can’t stop using this pilot color Eno soft blue pen. It totally is worth the purchase and will definitely consider purchasing more!
