    This thread is probably overworked - but a convenient solution for
    those who would go the graphic lead route is to use a "drafting lead
    holder" used in architectural and engineering drawing. Obtainable at
    any good art or drafting supply store, this handy little tool holds
    5" leads purchasable by the dozen in any hardness. An extra few bucks
    buys a sharpener - altho a piece of fine abrasive paper works fine as
    well. The leads used in these things are strong and larger in cross
    section than those used in ordinary pencils. The barrel of mine is
    hexagonal and red in color. Easy to see, doesn't roll of the bench.
