I treated myself for the holidays and bought 5 sets of pencils! Check out my haul, and stay tuned to future reviews so I can share my experience with each brand of pencil: Marco Raffine, Faber-Castell, Caran D'ache, Mitsubishi Hi-Uni and Tombow Homo-Graph Mono pencils.

My most exciting new drawing tool, the Slate, records my drawings digitally as I draw and paint on real paper with real pencils and brushes!
