look sth like this. Basically its like a mechanical pencil, just that the lead is normal size. Good for shading, cos you can just own one pencil, and change the lead when necessary (HB, 2B, 8B etc). The pencil is also slightly heavier, which makes it nicer to use. Plus the sharpening is solely on the lead, so there is no wood shavings..
those are actually lead holders.. mostly used for architecture... but interesting how those ones have a hidden sharpener you can use...
Still love using traditional pencil once in a while... no idea why, perhaps I am at the (ancient) age to feel nostalgia... So yeah, a pencil sharpener will be handy
