Try this:
Take some ordinary white bread (supermarket stuff will do), pull out the white part from the middle of one slice or perhaps two, and leave the crusts. Fold it a couple of times, into a ball, then press it onto the pencil marks and lift it off again with a rolling motion - side to side or bottom to top. If this lifts off any of the pencil lead (it should), fold the soiled part of the bread into the middle and repeat the process. When the bread dough is getting grey and horrid, get a new piece.

Good for removing grubby marks from wallpaper, too.

And it's best to use the really tacky, cheap, sliced bread. "Real bread" as made at home is not nearly so effective.
