Let me recommend Xiao Qian's novel, Red Pencils and Blue Pencils.

Blue comic pencils usually have a vibrant color that stands out. They might be softer for easier shading and creating different tones.

Manga pencils usually have a darker lead and a finer tip. They're designed for creating detailed and precise lines, which is great for manga art. Regular pencils might not have those specific features.

Comic pencils usually have a harder lead for cleaner lines. Regular pencils might be softer and better for shading.

Cartoon pencils typically have a high quality graphite that gives consistent lines. They might have fun and colorful designs on the barrels. And they're often made to be durable for frequent use in creating cartoons.

Pencils in cartoons can have various traits. They could be shown as magical tools that can draw anything. Or they might be personified and have adventures. Usually, they stand out with their unique look to catch the viewer's attention.

For comics, you might want to try charcoal pencils. They create bold and dark lines, perfect for adding emphasis. Colored pencils can also be useful for adding accents or special effects. It really depends on your style and the effect you want to achieve.

Cartoon pencils are usually designed to have a smooth and consistent lead for easy drawing. They also often come in a variety of colors and thicknesses.

It really depends. You might not need any pencils at all if you write on a computer or tablet.

Coloring manga with colored pencils can be fun. Start with a light sketch of your manga character. Then, pick the colors that match your vision. Use different pressures to create variations in intensity. Also, use a blending stump or a tissue to blend the colors for a seamless look.
