Our graphite pencils are offered in a range of lead hardness from high H for clean, thin lines to high B for dark, thick lines. Also, our premium drawing pencil has a size and shape that allows for laying down precise lines in a controlled manner.
How are drawing pencil(s) numbered? All drawing pencils set are labelled on a scale from H pencils to B pencils. The H scale indicates a harder lead, or a lead made of a higher degree of clay than graphite. Whereas, the B scale indicates a softer lead made of a higher amount of graphite than clay. H pencils will create a thinner, lighter line that is less susceptible to smudging, while a B pencil will make a broader, darker line that is easier to smudge. The degree of hardness is indicated by an increasing number scale with the mid range designated by a set of letters - H, F, HB and B.
What drawing pencil(s) should I use? As an artist, you should use a drawing pencil set with a range of hardness grades that suit your drawing style.
