I was weary of a 2.0mm "mechanical" pencil, but this is fairly versatile - I can use it to make very sharp thin lines or for broad shading

The clean high tech line of the pencil is a visual pleasure.

You'd think it was OK, because a sharpener is included, but it's not really very good at getting the razor sharp lines

The fat lead leaves a line more akin to a carpenter pencil which is just what I was after
