Pencilled

Pencilled is an adjective that describes something that has been drawn, written, or marked with a pencil. This implies the use of a graphite-based writing implement, often encased in wood. The term can refer to the act of creating a mark or to the state of being marked. For example, a sketch might be described as "pencilled" if it was made with a pencil. Similarly, a note scribbled on a piece of paper could be called "pencilled." The characteristic of being pencilled often implies a degree of impermanence or erasability, as pencil marks can generally be removed with an eraser. In art, pencilled drawings are a fundamental stage in many creative processes, serving as a preliminary outline or a finished work in themselves. The term can also be used metaphorically to suggest something that is preliminary, not yet finalized, or subject to change, much like a pencil sketch can be easily altered. The appearance of a pencilled mark is typically a gray or black line, though colored pencils also exist.
