Ooh, I like the idea of the mechanical pencil. No dullness, ever. I've tried
blue pencils, but I couldn't find my details with it. Of course, I've never
inked my own pencils, so maybe it wasn't as big a problem as I imagined.
Still, it wasn't as comfortable as the familiar greyish color of the
graphite.

A light box would be so cool. I've heard of that being done, but don't have
the equipment on hand.
