Pencil 'lead' is made of graphite mixed with clay. Graphite is a form of carbon, and is a conductor of electricity: the carbon atoms' electrons can move within the material. The pencil line on the paper is a continuous trail of graphite. This trail is a route along which electrons flow – from the negative to the positive terminal of the battery – forming an electric current that lights the LED. Graphite is only a fairly good conductor, and longer circuits have more resistance to current flow.
