The grade (hardness\/softness of the graphite formulation) determines both how visible the line is and how easily it erases or reads through to the scanner. HB is the middle of the standard range: visible enough for confident underdrawing and construction, dark enough to see clearly but light enough to erase cleanly if a correction is needed. H is one step harder — a lighter, less visible mark that is useful for underdrawing that will be completely covered by inked linework and where any residual pencil showing through to the scan should be minimal. 2H is the lightest practical option — for perspective construction lines, rough blocking, and any marks that serve a purely structural purpose during the drawing process and need to be as invisible as possible in the final scan. Many illustrators use all three grades at different stages: 2H for perspective and layout, H for structural construction, HB for the final underdrawing that is close enough to the intended line to serve as a direct inking guide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pentel","offers":[{"title":"4H \/ 0.2mm","offer_id":52565685928264,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"4H

work\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe GraphGear 1000 is a heavier, more deliberate tool than a standard mechanical pencil. The brass components in the body add weight that changes the character of the mark-making: heavier tools reward slower, more controlled strokes and resist the tendency to sketch quickly and loosely. This is intentional — the GraphGear is designed for drafting and technical drawing where controlled, deliberate marks are the goal, not the fastest possible line. For illustration underdrawing where the pencil marks will be inked over, this character translates well: the slightly heavier feel encourages deliberate construction rather than loose gestural sketching, which typically produces underdrawings that are more useful as inking guides. The retractable tip guard protects the lead when the pencil is in a bag or case, which extends both the lead and the tip mechanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e0.5mm or 0.7mm — the practical difference\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 0.5mm is the standard choice for detailed illustration underdrawing — fine enough to lay in construction lines that will be covered by dip pen linework without being mistaken for finished marks, and fine enough to indicate detail at the scale of manga and illustration production. The 0.7mm is slightly more forgiving of fragile lead breakage (thicker lead is less prone to snapping under moderate pressure) and is a reasonable choice for rough layout and blocking work where the finest precision is not needed at this stage.

This is not a trick or a filter applied after the fact — it is a property of how standard photographic sensors interpret colour wavelengths, and it is the production method used by professional manga artists in Japan.

Their inks are used at art schools, by amateur artists, and by professional manga artists whose work appears in weekly publications. Black No. 3 and Black No. 4 are both waterproof when dry — but they serve different workflows and are not interchangeable. The critical distinction is alcohol marker compatibility. Black No. 3 is NOT compatible with alcohol-based markers — applying Copic, Neopiko, or similar alcohol markers over dried No. 3 linework will cause the ink to bleed. Black No. 4 is specifically formulated to resist alcohol-based markers, making it the correct choice for colouring workflows that involve markers over ink.

It dries quickly to a dense matte black that accepts water-based media applied over the top without lifting or bleeding. The absence of alcohol marker compatibility is not a flaw — it is a formulation choice that allows the ink to perform differently in water-based media workflows. For artists working in a purely pen and wash tradition with no alcohol marker colouring, Black No. 3 is the correct choice. Clean nibs and brushes promptly after use — the waterproof chemistry that makes No. 3 resistant to water also makes it resistant to removal once dried on metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlack No. 4 — the industry standard, alcohol marker safe\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003eBlack No. 4 is Deleter's highest quality ink.

This makes No. 4 the correct choice for the most common professional manga colouring workflow: ink the page in black, apply alcohol marker colour fills, then add further ink detail if needed.

White No. 1 is not waterproof when dry — you can work over it with limited pressure, but it is not a stable surface for further ink or media application. White No. 2 becomes waterproof when dry, making it the correct choice when the corrected area will be re-inked, drawn over, or scanned as part of a finished page.

It is the correct starting ink for artists new to white correction work, and the better choice for delicate detail areas where a brush fully loaded with the thicker White No. 2 would be too heavy. Shake the bottle thoroughly before use — the pigment settles. Thin with a very small amount of water if the consistency seems too heavy for the application. White No. 1 is NOT waterproof when dry. Do not ink over dried White No. 1 linework — the correction will not hold cleanly under dip pen pressure.

The thick consistency means it works well applied with a small menso brush or a dip pen, laying down an even, dense white that fully obscures the ink beneath.

Non-photo blue works because standard photographic scanners (both CCD and CIS sensor types) can be set to exclude specific colour wavelengths when producing a greyscale output. The light blue of non-photo blue pencils falls in the wavelength range that is excluded in greyscale mode, meaning the marks are simply not recorded by the sensor when the setting is applied. The result is a clean scan of the inked linework without any pencil residue, no erasing marks on the inking surface, and no risk of erasing disrupting the ink lines.

The Pilot Color Eno 0.7mm is a mechanical pencil — no sharpening needed, consistent 0.7mm line width throughout, and more portable.
