Insert the new lead into the lead holder, guaranteeing it's pushed absolutely into place. (Failure to push the new lead right into the holder could cause it to maneuver up and down once writing). Move the slider grip back on the slider towards the cap section and insert the entire slider mechanism into the barrel. Screw the cap section back over the refill nut, then flip the cap dextrorotary till mechanical pencil lead seems at the tip of the pencil”

Replacing a lead in mechanical pencil
“Pull out the cap section (1) and switch in AN anti-clockwise direction till the slider (2) is totally unscrewed from the barrel (3). Push the slider grip (4) on to show the lead holder (5) and any remaining lead. To unleash any residual lead, hold the slider grip firmly between thumb and finger and down towards the slider grip. The ensuing spring action can unleash the lead. Unscrew the refill nut (6) and take away a spare lead from within the barrel. Replace refill nut.

What is the best pen to draw ?
Many times my students, drawing novice restless, I have been asked what should be the best pen to draw and always tell them that the question should not be-what is the best pencil drawing ?, What -but rather ES pencil I use for this or that purpose drawing ?.
Now, as he wished them the best answer I happened to do with the example of an eye I was drawing with each use pencils. This seemed like a very appropriate way to explain the advantages and disadvantages of each pencil. Thus, seeing the results, they could choose the one that suited them for his purpose. Ok?, notes.
The bar told thick soft.
Advantages: For the physical qualities of this bar you can achieve similar effects to those made with the technique of pastel (only in black and white) and strokes can be very dynamic and expressive (very "loose" and spontaneous); characteristics that give much artistic character to the work. The blacks who succeed are "absolute", ie, powerful and dense, but can also be achieved very broad ranges of gray with mechanical pencil (graphite pencils do not allow any of these possibilities).
Disadvantages: It's difficult to control because it tends to soil or stain job. You can not make very detailed work and does not let you delete or correct almost.
Recommendations for use: This amazing bar you will find excellent for quick, loose sketches; to experiment and search for previous effects to a final work with another technique to color. For the drawing of first intention. It is ideal for general studies of light and shadow.
Recommended Type of work: Definitely for the naked human figure or sketches of landscapes.
* Tip: When working with it ensures that the picture is as large as possible (60 cm x 90 cm, ideal), a reduced size limits you and in the case of exercise, preferably I work it on economic papers, you must place with clamps (Bulldog) in a table. Always place the table in a vertical or nearly vertical position.

Few mechanical pencils review
Hand draw with a pen is a pleasure, and also one of the architects habits we mentioned in another post , I personally love especially with the thick pencil with mine , so we bring you next a list of the 3 top mechanical pencils that seem particularly interesting to draw so you can always find more on the blog below, both technically and for architectural sketches .
1. Technical Mars Staedler
Staedler_Mars_Tecnico
With a wealth of 2mm and a rough area at the end to improve grip , this budget pencil is very light and comfortable to get us out of trouble at any time.
As detailed incorporates a lead pointer at the upper end , which can extract to refine the details.
2. Faber Castell Grip PLus
FABER_CASTELL_GRIP_PLUS
There is only one word for this pen, and is classic, it's certainly one of the best selling of the German mark, and it is not very difficult to know why, its thickness and its anatomical shape make it particularly comfortable in the hand, He is able to work with him for several hours without being resent hand. They have adopted the characteristic triplus marking system for gripping.
In his rear incorporates a removable rubber by rotation, we guarantee that mistakes will keep at bay for long.
3. Rotring RO800 +
ROTRING_RO800
Anything that bears the name Rotring speaks of precision, balance and care design, one would expect with pens and pencil ranges with model 800+ simply have passed, you can choose the thickness of the mine 0.5 or 0.7 mm and is more designed for technical drawing that sketch, but the metal feeling in the hand is impressive.
As peculiarity, it incorporates a cover that can serve as a pointer on capacitive screens of our phones and tablets. It also incorporates a draft in the back, but his balance, will be unlikely to have to use it.
