User:Soulrefrain/Dermatograph

A dermatograph is a type of pencil that is made of tightly-rolled paper and is round in section. It is rolled in such a way that an embedded string can be pulled to slowly tear off parts of the paper, exposing more of the marking pigment. Because of its construction, dermatographs do not need sharpening, unlike traditional pencils.

The stick of pigment in dermatographs can take the form of lead, charcoal, clay, or other colored pigments. Since dermatographs are not sharpened, the tip is usually left blunt or rounded. This makes it easily writable on the following material:
