I need help, when I try to sharpen the pencil, it sharpens the graphite part and makes it pointy, but the graphite immediately falls right out, any tips? I'm using a blue handheld sharpener.

If you don’t push the pencil into the sharpener hard/ push soft into it it may help also stopping right after the tip is formed can help even twisting the sharpener instead of the pencil can work
