| | Pencil sharpener - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A pencil sharpener (pencil parer in Hiberno-English) is a device for sharpening a pencil's point by shaving one end. | | | Specialized sharpeners are available that operate on non-standard sizes of pencil, such as large art pencils used in primary schools and carpenters' rectangular pencils. | | | Electric pencil sharpeners work on the same principle as mechanical ones, but the blade is rotated rapidly by an electric motor. |

Whatever other medium I use (soft pastel, ink, acrylic or watercolor), I apply it to the drawing surface first for its color and value. | | | The colored pencil is my primary means of expression. | | | Good art is a result of careful planning, creative expression, strong composition, excellent craftsmanship, and a confident and complete exploration of the medium. |
