MONO Drawing Pencil FAQs

What’s the best kind of paper to use with my drawing pencils?

When practicing and making rough sketches, you can use any type of paper. However, if you’re making a detailed pencil drawing, it’s best to choose an archival paper made from 100% rag for detailed drawings that will last and not turn yellow or become brittle over time. You can also get acid-free paper made from wood fibres, and other cellulose materials such as linen and bamboo.

We also like Legion Paper’s Stonehenge paper and Arches 140lb hot press watercolour paper. Both Canson and Strathmore have such books so that you can try a variety of papers. Explore other drawing and watercolour papers to discover what works best for you!

How do I sharpen my MONO Drawing Pencils?

Always use a hand-held sharpener. Tombow’s MONO Drawing Pencils are extra-refined, with high-density graphite that sharpens evenly without the worry of the lead breaking. Our tip for sharpening all pencils (graphite and coloured) is to keep a small container handy for the pencil shavings, so you can draw or colour anywhere.
