There is no Cursor called ‘Pencil’ within Cursor Class,See the complete cursor listing here :

Complete Cursor Listing

However You can try Custom Cursors

Visual Studio allows you to create cursor (.cur) files. A cursor file is a bitmap file with .cur extension. To create a cursor file, right click on your project and select Add New Item menu item. After that, select Cursor File from the items. This action will add a default Cursor1.cur file

Once a cursor file is added, you will land in bitmap editor where you can change the bitmap using drawing tools as you can see

Now copy Cursor1.cur file to your Debug or Release folder where your executable file is stored.

Once a file is saved, we can create a cursor from the cursor file using following code snippet.

C# Code:

this.Cursor = new Cursor(Application.StartupPath +  "\\Cursor1.cur");  

VB.NET Code:

Me.Cursor = New Cursor(Application.StartupPath + "\Cursor1.cur")
