The MD Pencil uses the same colors as MD Paper for its standard honeycomb-shaped body that is easy to hold with the thumb, index finger and middle finger. The original MD Pencil set comes with lead B for general writing. Early 2019, Midori came out with this new set a pencil designed for sketching. The drawing kit comes with 5 pencil caps, one sharpener and 5 pencils from HB, B, 2B, 4B to 6B.
