pencil line
Drawn graphite stroke
A pencil line is a mark made by a pencil—thin, gray, and erasable.
The term often emphasizes the provisional nature of such marks: Start with a light pencil line before committing to ink.
Pencil lines serve as guides in drafting, sewing, and carpentry, meant to be removed or covered over in the finished work.
