Assuming you mean a wood pencil with a broken-off end: You can use the tip for fine shading in a pencil drawing, i.e., an area that is too small for your finger tip. If you mean a mechanical pencil with a non-graphite insert: Use like a regular pencil (within its limitations for drawing purposes). Just remember, on an exam, use NO. 2 pencils! DO NOT USE MECHANICAL PENCILS WITH SYNTHETIC NON-GRAPHITE (NON-ELECTRICAL CONDUCTING) COMPOUNDS WHICH WILL NOT BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE ELECTRONIC SCAN GRADING. If you mean a mechanical pencil with no graphite (lead) available from the nearest drug store or office-supply store, then use it for cleaning the lint out of your belly button. :) JUST KIDDING!

No it's not a dumb question, you can never be too sure and yes, #2 pencils are graphite. They stopped using real lead a while back. Although I don't like to sketch on my canvases because the pencil lines are visible through the paint. (I tend to use very light amounts of or watered down acrylic paints.)

Writing, sketching
Anything you can do with a graphite pencil.

Answering questions that have no meaning? Writing your boss a letter of appreciation? Signing loan papers?
