Eren Göksel wrote a tutorial that anyone can follow to create a drawing of a pencil in Photoshop.

The Pencil is one of the visual metaphors most used to express creativity. In this tutorial, I'll show you how to draw a pencil icon. We'll have a look at gradients, selection tools, and basic transform operations. Let's have some fun with this.
