Introduction
The Faber-Castell Sparkle pencil is a fan-favourite among students and bullet journal keepers. They are available in a selection of subtle metallic colours, containing HB leads suitable for drawing, sketching and planning ideas. They also have small impressions that shine and sparkle when light hits them, which is there they get their names from.
Tips and Tricks
HB graded pencils like the Faber-Castell Sparkle are great for sketching and building a foundation before using other instruments to finalise your design. This is because HB lead is in the middle of the lead-grading spectrum. It's not too dark and not too light. It's recommended to start with a HB pencil when you're sketching a design, before adding darker details with other pencils or tools.
