The material in a pencil is typically graphite, a form of carbon that leaves a mark when drawn on paper. The graphite is mixed with clay to create the pencil "lead" that is encased in the wooden barrel of the pencil. The hardness of the lead can vary, producing different shades and line thicknesses.
