New Pencil.

I love getting new toys. I just bought a lead holder & one of those barrel sharpener thingies, and I'm all like "Where have you been all my life?" The default lead (HB, I suspect) is just the right softness for meandering line and gentle gradations, without being too smudgy. I've also really been loving my 5x8 Moleskin sketchbook with hot press ecru pages. I've been a fan of the gritty texture that cold press paper provides, but I am suddenly really enjoying the smooth ride of hot press.

We shall not cease from exploration,
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
