Ystudio Brassing Sketching Pencil

YStudio believes in simplicity of design, handcrafting their range of minimalist fine writing instruments with the intent that they will be passed down from generation to generation. The Ystudio Brassing Sketching Pencil features a sleek Black Brassing finish and is a perfectly weighted Brass mechanical pencil that provides stability, ensuring a smooth sketching experience. The Brassing effect was inspired by the designer's love of vintage cameras, with their worn brass fittings. A sheet of fine sandpaper is included so that you can add your mark, rubbing off portions of the Black finish, making it entirely your own. The slender hexagonal body, which might remind you of classic wooden pencils, has a comfortable, balanced grip that allows you to hold it for longer periods of time. This mechanical sketching pencil uses 2.0mm pencil lead which can be advanced using the incremental Advance Clutch button on the top of the pencil, where you’ll also find a subtly engraved Ystudio logo. The advance clutch button can be removed to reveal a built-in lead sharpener. No matter how you hold it, you will enjoy the uniqueness of this mechanical pencil. A unique feature of brass is that it oxidizes the more you use it, developing a personalized patina that makes them uniquely yours. This durable, long-lasting Ystudio Brassing mechanical sketching pencil might become your new everyday writing instrument, and it also makes a hearty traveling companion, especially for college students and artists away in residency. The Ystudio Brassing Sketching Pencil comes packaged in a beautiful black gift box. Enjoy this ultra-reliable sketching tool for work, pleasure and all places in-between.

Caring for a Brassing Pencil

The brassing on your pencil’s metal surface accumulates over time due to the oxidation process that happens naturally with brass. With the brassing, you can trace the use of your pencil and learn about your personal memory, story and style. You can also use fine sandpaper to create a personalized brassing effect by removing some of the black paint on the surface to create a creative and original pencil that no one has ever seen before. The exposed brass areas of your Ystudio brassing sketching pencil can be restored to their original shine with copper oil and a light polishing.
