This morning, TJ over at Wood & Graphite sent us a link to a video he had been working on, and it is one of the most glorious things we’ve seen in a while.

When Apple announced their Apple Pencil product a few weeks back, they did so in usual Apple fashion. While the product certainly seems compelling, TJ couldn’t help but notice that everything the Apple Pencil was able to accomplish could also be accomplished by an everyday graphite pencil. So, he decided to recreate their announcement video with his tool of choice, a Blackwing Pearl, and the results are pretty amazing.

Check out both videos side by side, below.
