Hello, Photoshop ships with several graphite-like brushes. I would start by analyzing the settings they use that you like, in order to create yours, as there are many different pencil hardness, paper texture, etc that could vary. What do you have in mind, and where do you struggle?

Maybe a mechanical pencil and a No. 2 pencil style would be cool. I just don't know what brush tip shapes to use and the other settings to change to get the pencil

Hi

If you look down your brush presets there are brushes with erodible tips that wear and can be re-sharpened

For example:

Starts like:

Wears to :

Then gets re-sharpened when you click on Sharpen point

Combine this with texture and you may get what you want
