The Art Of Sharpening Pencils

Welcome to the world of pencil sharpening. This may sound like a dull topic but there is actually a lot more to it than you think. There are a number of different sharpening styles and methods; all good artists should know them. The trick is using the right one at the right time.

There are four main points to select from; the one you choose will depend on the type of pencil you use, and the style of your drawing. These are: the standard point, the chisel point, the needle point, and the bullet point.
