Is it possible to buy darker lead for a mechanical pencil and where?
Im aware that the darker the lead, the softer it is but i find when drawing that there is more control with the small tip of a mechanical pencil than with constantly sharpening a normal one.
i would never have thought of staples or office depot since i was looking at art stores
I know our college book store had everything from 6H to 8B and in three sizes. You could see if there is a college book store around where you live with a good art and architecture program.
Hobby Lobby also had a pretty good selection of not only different lead softnesses, but also colors. I remember having to search for it there, but they did have it.
Office stores might have some as well, but I do not think they would have the selection. I remember wal-mart having some softer lead once, but that was awhile ago and I have not seen it since then.
