Pencil Drawing

Not all countries use yellow pencils, however; German and Brazilian pencils, for example, are often green, based on the trademark colours of Faber-Castell, a major German stationery company. In southern European countries pencils tend to be dark red or black with yellow lines while in Australia they are red with black bands at one end. In India the most common pencil colour scheme was dark red with black lines, and pencils with a large number of colour schemes are produced by various companies.
Pencils are commonly round, hexagonal or sometimes triangular in section. Carpenters' pencils are typically oval or rectangular.
