Types Based on Material
'''Graphite Drawing Pencils''':
Graphite pencils are only used in particular techniques for certain drawings. They are mostly used in silvery or shiny metals, glass, eye shading (white part), and shinier or smooth fabrics like satin or silk as they can create glare at particular angles and produce an unrealistic, silvery look.

Charcoal drawing pencils might not glide over paper like graphite pencils but they produce dark and deep lines. It is also easy to smear certain drawing parts using these pencils. They are very useful for drawing in wood, bark, shadows, fur, skin tones, and coarse fabric materials like corduroys, denim, or leather. These pencils are also available in different grades.
'''Carbon Drawing Pencils:'''
Carbon Drawing Pencils are a mixture of graphite and charcoal, which can produce dark and smooth lines at different degrees. Artists should be sure about their ideas and drawings, as drawings created using carbon pencils cannot be erased.
