Colored Pencils

Colored pencils are wood-encased leads made up of pigment and wax. Like traditional graphite pencils, you can sharpen them to points that can create fine lines and (if used at an angle) broad strokes. They give you a good amount of control over your strokes; the harder you press, the darker the line. You can also use a vinyl or plastic eraser to tidy up your lines.
