The Joy of Drawing (aka: Why a Simple Pencil Still Feels Like Home)

There’s something deliciously honest about a plain graphite pencil. No bells, no whistles — just you, your hand, and that quiet whisper of lead sliding across the page. It’s the first tool most of us ever held, and somehow, it remains the one that never lies to us. It shows every wobble, every wonder, every brave little beginning. And I adore that.

My Draw Happy pencils were born from that love — but with a little mischief, a little sparkle, a little Jane woven through. Because yes, a graphite pencil can be humble… but why shouldn’t it also be a party?

Wrapped in rainbow paper, each one is a tiny celebration. As you sharpen them, you get glorious rainbow shavings — little curls of colour so pretty you’ll want to keep them (I do… and I use them in collage, because of course I do). It turns even the simplest sketching moment into a small creative ritual. A smile. A “yes, this is why I make art.”

Graphite is freedom. It’s the fastest way to catch an idea before it evaporates. It’s forgiving when you need to find your courage, and bold when you decide to push a line with meaning. It can be soft and smudgy or sharp and dramatic. It’s the closest thing we have to drawing straight from the heart.

Whether you’re warming up, scribbling wildly, mapping out a masterpiece, or just letting your thoughts spill into your sketchbook, these pencils are here to remind you that drawing isn’t a chore — it’s a joy. A permission slip. A moment of connection between you and your imagination.

Normal old lead? Dear art friend… there is nothing “normal” about what your hand can do with a pencil.

Draw Happy — because joy belongs at the tip of every line you make.

This bundle combines the charming and practical Bookish eraser 4 piece set and the Draw Happy pencil 2 piece set!
Sketch with joy!

A Pencil Party Isn’t Complete Without a Good Eraser

(…and these ones are downright storybook adorable.)

Because drawing is joy… and erasing should be too.

I’ve bundled my Draw Happy graphite pencils with the cutest little set of erasers you’ve ever seen — four tiny book-shaped erasers, each one a miniature version of my most-loved drawing books. They’re like pocket-sized muses cheering you on from the sidelines.

And these aren’t just “aww, cute!” novelty erasers (though… yes, they absolutely are that).
They’re engineered for serious creative usefulness:

• 8 sharp points for ultra-detailed erasing

• 8 long edges for carving out highlights or tidying lines

• 2 rounded ends for gentle blending and soft-touch erasing

Every surface does something — it’s an eraser that multitasks as enthusiastically as I do.

And because you’re here, you get a fun little confession…

FUN FACT: I’ve collected erasers since I was a kid. Not casually — obsessively. I still have one of the biggest eraser collections in the world. Little scented ones, weird ones, novelty ones, elegant ones… I’ve been hoarding these tiny rubber miracles my whole life.
So when I tell you these mini-book erasers are special?
Trust me — I know my erasers.

Together, the pencils and erasers turn your sketching session into a full-blown Draw Happy experience: rainbow shavings, crisp graphite lines, tiny books cheering you on, and all the tactile joy that makes drawing feel like coming home.

Normal tools? Never.
Creative joy in bite-sized form? Always.
