jasufox's Jasse (or should we call her "Jassy"?)
This is Jasu's school-girl-loady-panties-shenanigans self that I used for a bit of watercolor and charcoal pencil practice. She was and always is fun to draw doing all sorts of stuff. I think I have a small pool of cartoon situations in mind for her, but I think I could do more.
I wanted to see how watercolor worked with lead. It was alright, but the lead was light as I had expected. I then went over it a bit in charcoal pencil, but it usually was a bit too thick and unspecific, and sometimes too dark. Nothing that a mechanical or well sharpened pencil couldn't go in and solve. In the future I might leave shading and such to a dull charcoal pencil and line with a different lead pencil, once I figure out what B and H means after the respective numbers...Also, mixing colors is something I'd like to try to get more used to. It's sort of an acquired taste but really feels like it will be great practice for stuff I intend to do down the road.

I think the benefits are a consistent, uniform line weight when I want it at just about any time, as well as a point that is a certain thinness whenever I want it. Plus, I can hatch at that certain thinness without using up resources from actual pencils. Truthfully I do switch on and off between mechanical and real pencils, though if ever I only have a mechanical pencil I can usually work things out, it's very thin and good for specific line work or sketching. For more varied line widths and darkness of lead I do often go to my pack of pencils and such hehe.
True, even I can't buy a marker at a decent price that is actually worth it. Copic brand markers are the cream of the crop, but are ridiculously expensive. They have every color under the rainbow...at like $8 USD each.
as for mechanical pencils, I know I prefer the basic ones. I can't stand ones with grips or whatever--I just use this and switch the lead by buying that separately if I want to. https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.....DL._SY300_.jpg
