When an engineer uses a pencil as his/her tool for drafting, is it not still a pencil?

eta: Wait, I haven't opened my mind well enough on the concept of "tool". I think I was being far too literal on this one. Bumping up a notch... :)

Very nice. Crisp, clear, well composed.

good photo and drawing but .....[However, the pencil must be used or communicated as something other than a pencil in the photo.]

I'm sorry. Just discovered I gave some strange comment here (some copy/paste stuff, hope you didn't read it).

This is a very nice drawing, but it's that what pencils are for?

How is this pencil not being a pencil?
10/18/2007 02:23:40 PM
Very nice technical drawing. But how is the mechanical pencil being used as something besides a pencil?
10/18/2007 12:01:13 PM
I been battling with myself for this 1... it's a gerat drawing but it DMTC. I see your point in that being a tool, but the challenge was to commnicate that tool as something else?

The lighting is a bit flat on this shot.
10/17/2007 10:28:38 PM
The mechanical pencil is out of focus. The overall lighting could be better.

Not a bad composition. The colors seems a little...flat/dull. Perhaps a bit more lighting or saturation would make it more effective for me.

Doesn't really meet the challenge...pencil must be used or communicated as something other than a pencil in the photo.

I like the idea and your design sketches, I think the image needs more contrast. If you brightened it up to make the paper more bright it would have helped.
