Drawing and sketching pencils

The only difference in pencils is the type and quantity of filler that's mixed with the graphite to create different grades of hardness. The softest grade of pencil is a 9b and the hardest is a 9h. The most common pencil, the type you probably have setting in a mug or stuck in a drawer, is usually a HB (in the middle of the scale.)

Here are the grades of pencils:

Extremely hard - 7H to 9H
Very hard - 4H to 6H
Hard - 3H to 4H
Medium hard - H to 2H
Medium - HB to F
