Is the Pentel Sharplet 2 the Best Budget Pencil for Artists? Drawing Test

In this video, I put the Pentel Sharplet 2 to the ultimate test to see if this economy mechanical pencil can actually deliver professional drawing results. Often shadowed by its legendary big brother, the Pentel P205, the Sharplet 2 is a hidden gem that features a surprisingly comfortable ridged finger grip for superior control and a durable metal clip that puts other budget pencils to shame. I’ll be sketching a full drawing to demonstrate its line weight, shading capabilities, and handling to help you decide if this is the best budget mechanical pencil for your art kit.
While many artists overlook this pencil, due to its plastic clutch mechanism, its lightweight body makes it perfect for long sketching sessions without hand fatigue. Whether you are a student looking for cheap art supplies or a professional curious about vintage-style Japanese stationery, this review covers everything. Join me as I push this $2 tool to its limits and see if it’s worth adding to your everyday carry (EDC) collection.
