5. Draw a "V" shaped line at the bottom of the pencil, forming the collar, or wooden tip of the pencil. Draw a straight line across the bottom of the collar, and shade beneath it.

6. Take the cuteness factor up a notch by giving this pencil a smiling face. Draw two ovals to form the eyes. Within each eye, draw a smaller oval, and a tiny circle within it. Shade between the circle and the oval, forming the pupil. Then, use a "U" shaped line and a straight line to form the mouth. Draw a curved line through the mouth and shade above it, indicating the tongue.

Learn More About The Cute Pencil Drawing

The pencil is a simple object with a very long history. The earliest pencils were used in ancient Rome, then known as styluses. The stylus was a thin metal rod that left a dark mark behind when pulled across papyrus, a plant-based sheet similar to paper.

Did you know that you won't find any lead in your pencil today? A carbon-based material called graphite is used instead. It became popular after the discovery of a large graphite deposit in England in 1564.

Graphite is soft and needs a wooden shaft to support it; thus, the pencil as we know it today was created. Why, then, do we call it a pencil lead? Some ancient styluses were made of lead, and the name continues to be used today.

Today, the pencil is often used as a symbol for education. It may be personified by adding a face of other features. The cute face on this drawing is reminiscent of characters such as Penny Pencil from the popular Shopkins toy line.

Pencils are also valued for their use in art. Pencil drawings by famous artists such as Leonardo da Vinci can be found in museums throughout the world. Just as a painter uses many sizes of brushes, artists can use pencils of various hardnesses.

The hardness of the pencil is determined by the amount of clay the graphite contains; harder pencils leave darker marks, while softer pencils leave light marks.
