Pencils are one of those simple tools that stay with us for life — from the first letter a child writes to the intricate sketch of a seasoned artist. In Bangladesh, students and artists often struggle to find the right pencil: one that has smooth lead, is durable, affordable, and reliable. At Elmate Stationery, you can find a wide variety of pencils, mechanical pencils, color pencils, and pencil accessories — all under one roof.
Whether you’re a student preparing for exams or an artist sketching your next masterpiece, this post is for you.
Why the Right Pencil Matters
You might think a pencil is just a pencil. But the wrong pencil can ruin your drawing or make your writing messy and uncomfortable. A good pencil:
- Has consistent, break-resistant lead
- Gives you control over darkness and shading
- Feels comfortable in your hand for long sessions
- Doesn’t smear, crack, or scratch the paper
For students, a reliable pencil makes exams easier (no unexpected breaks). For artists, it’s the difference between smooth shading and patchy textures.

Graphite Pencils: The Backbone for Writing & Sketching
Graphite pencils are the most common type used by students and many artists. Their “hardness” is marked by codes like H, HB, B, 2B, 4B, 6B, 8B.
- H / 2H: light lines — good for technical drawing
- HB / B: general writing and sketches
- 2B, 4B, 6B, 8B: soft leads, ideal for shading
If you’re doing sketches, a set that spans HB to 8B gives flexibility. At Elmate Stationery, you can find full graphite pencil sets suitable for students and artists alike.
Mechanical Pencils: Clean and Convenient
Mechanical pencils are great for clean, precise lines.
Pros:
- No sharpening needed
- Consistent line width
- Ideal for technical drawings and notes
Cons:
- Limited lead thickness (0.5, 0.7, 0.9 mm)
- Lead can break if too soft
