Richard Stine's pencil


I love the 1978 book of drawings by Richard Stine, the "Non-pointless Pencil Book."

I can't find an image of the cover online, but it was a collection of fantasy-style pencils or, like this one I copied, a stub.

Stine was a master hatcher. Imagine how many drawings this pencil produced. And though the graphite is used up, there's still plenty of eraser left.

Ballpoint ink, washed with water on thin graph paper.
