Simple Pencil Drawing
Art by : Arun VB
For fine detail, you want H pencils; for texture and tonal range, you want B pencils. The 'blacker' the pencil, the softer the lead – a 9B pencil will leave a darker mark but become blunt very quickly. The standard sketching pencil is HB or 2B.
The higher the number by H, the harder the lead of the pencil -- and the higher the number by B, the softer the lead.
