Pencil: The Erasable Friend
When you draw with a pencil, you're leaving little marks called lead on the paper. If you make a mistake, you can just rub it out with an eraser, and your paper goes back to being blank, like it was never touched!
Pen: The Permanent Pal
A pen uses ink that soaks into the paper. Once it's there, it’s hard to get rid of. It’s like when you spill juice on a shirt, no matter how much you scrub, some of the stain stays behind.
So if you want to play around and fix your picture, go with pencil. But if you're ready to make something that will stay forever, pick up a pen! Drawing with pencil is like using soft sand, you can erase your mistakes easily, and it's gentle on your paper. Drawing with pen is more like using glue, once you put it down, it stays there forever.
Examples
