Favorite Non-photo blue pencils?

[samprowse]

Just wondering what everyone's favorite brand is for non-photo blue!

I like the Staedtler pencils best so far. They go on light and the color is very consistent. I'm a little heavy handed when I sketch, but they don't build up on the paper too much, so they're easy to ink over.

What do you use?

Haven't tried any other brands yet tbh, but I like my pilot 0,7mm leads.

I actually prefer red pencils for my under sketches. It's a habit I picked up from my cartooning mentor in college because she always used red instead of blue. It's pretty easy to remove in photo shop using selective color.

Soooo not 'blue' but I use Pentel Red 0.5 in a Tombo mechanical pencil.

I like to use Pilot Eno 0.7 lead for my under sketches. I mainly use blue but sometimes I like to use red. I also have pink and purple >w>

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I like to use regular old colored light blue and bright red pencils. Just very, very lightly.

I have some 0.7 mm lead- I cant remember the brand. I ordered it through Jet Pens...I also have Berol Turquoise leads that I use for my Staedler leadholders- much larger than the mechanical pencils. If I'm using an actual pencil, I use col-erase non photo blue pencils.

Non-photo blue pencil/leads are pretty much what I been using to draw comics with since 1999/2000.

I'll use other colors sometimes in my sketchbooks or when I'm doodling at conventions.

I'm not sure if they're non-photo or not but in my old animation program we went through Col-Erase pencils like they were underpants! Cheap, comfortable, easy to scan out when cleaning up our frames...
