"Mechanical pencil design", in the pic related I point out two basic things:
1-the point: as I show in the picture those pointy designs sucks. The tip of your finger is supposed to rest there for long periods of time, and also pressing hard. You need a nice and smooth tip design to rest your finger and hold the pencil.

2-The body: Fat, convoluted, and bloated body designs are crap for collectors or dumb people, Not good
for an artist. You need a working tool not a fancy toy. So as much the mechanical pencil design resembles an actual wood pencil or a traditional painter brush the BETTER. The design should be as sleak and smooth as possible. And as I said above it doesn't have to be a costly one. Just look for the quality of the plastic, a good sturdy piece of hard plastic is enough, a metal tip in the point is important too. Plastic tips breaks easily.
And avoid the pronounced ribeted grip on the body, a ribeting to edgy will destroy your poor fingers. Remember you'll be pressing that piece of plastic for hours and hours, and the longer you work the harder you'll be pressing the pencil because your hand will be struggling against working fatigue.

That's my advice, but also this guy agrees too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoyaGaFajSU
But as I said, Those 2mm LeadHolders and tools are for more advanced drawing.
Good Luck
