3. There are 2 main types of graphite drawing pencils: H and B
H = “hard” B = “black”
H pencils: The higher the number, the harder the graphite. This means the mark the pencil makes will be LIGHTER. Because the graphite is harder, less of it will rub off on the page as you draw.
B pencils: The higher the number, the blacker the graphite. This means that the mark on the paper will be DARKER.
A pencil marked HB pretty much lies in the middle of this spectrum.
