I got's myself a shadow play. I picked it up today, a WHSmith sketching pencil, I am pretty sure I know who's pencil this is, so I may have to give it back. I have no idea what 'shadow play' means but this is a nice pencil for working tonally, very dark, lovely texture, don't get me wrong clearly it is as ugly as sin but nevertheless a damn good pencil. I find more and more that I prefer these relatively cheaper pencils. the thing that lets it down is the design, it is a hexagonal pencil for starters, it is the dullest battle ship grey you could make and has appalling typography, badly set, But worse of all I bet you can't buy them separately, I bet they come in a set with 12 other pencils that you would never use.
