How to sharpen your pencils for maximum versatility in sketching. Based on the techniques of the early modern master Ernest Watson, this is how to create a broad edged pencil point for use in broad stroke pencil rendering. Any sharp knife (box cutter, snap off knife, swiss army knife) will work - provided you never cut toward yourself! Happy sketching.
