Pen or Pencils?

I prefer pens since it just feels a lot smoother to write with. When I don't use pens, I use mechanical pencils :)

Mostly neither since I have a computer. If I have to write something by hand I use a pen.

Crayons. Or for formal paperwork, those magic markers so I don't get ink on anything but the paper.

I can never stay in the lines when I'm using crayons. :/

Pens. They look better on paper =D

No! I accidentally clicked Pens and voted. That's not true!

..I usually use mechanical pencils on preferably graph paper. The vertical lines (maybe just that the graph paper I've got is thicker?) make my writing neater or something, and it's easy to draw diagrams/graphs to go along with notes.

For an essay or an assignment like that I use a computer.

Writing by hand is for chumps. I just get my robot lizard to do it for me.

Why don't you have gel pens as an option? Way smoother writing than normal pens.Tylendal

Pen is what I use write. :P

Pens, the ink is stronger and more noticeable.

Pen - For writing notes/ doing homework

Pencil - For Drawing Art

Mechnical Pencil - For writing stories and poetry

Usually pens.

Pens feel so much better for writing.

Drawing on the other hand :twisted:

Though what feels best is a tablet pc and some wet oil brushes in photoshop.

Pens. I only draw with pencils.

I use all 3. Pens, pencils and mechanical pencils.

Its sad that people these days dont even use regular No. 2 pencils anymore these days. All they use these days still are mechanical pencils

Another reason why I use pens is because it doesn't hurt my hands as bad. I can write four pages with pens before my hand starts to hurt. It only takes me two for a pencil :(NiKva

You can get fat pencils that might feel better if you need to use a pencil for a long period of time. I had a pack of "ergonomic" pencils.. They weren't mechanical, but they were really comfortable.

Pencils. They make the best sounds.

Pencils, cause i was raised that way. And out of habit.

I only hold my pencil with two fingers.

Where is the option for both? I use pens and mechanical pencils. I often draw pics out for work and pencils make it easier to fix stuff. For paperwork, I try to use my laptop, it's easier to write new reports when all you have to do is change the accept/reject criteria and what welds were inspected.

Blood + feather pen = they know you're serious.

I use pens.......I don't make mistakes

markers ftw

[QUOTE="IcyToasters"]
They're pencils covered in a black grip layer with three sides and a slightly larger diameter so you don't have to close your hand as hard to get a grip :3

Writing hand; somewhere between open and closed:


NiKva hand:

Don't say you said two fingers, not a thumb and a finger. :P

For calculations/sketches - mechanical pencils.

For general purpose writing - pens.

Mechanical pencils are inanimate gods.
