aletter & number like (4h) is a light lead & a (6b) is a darker lead As used in shadowing. choose a pencil with light lead like a 4H. use this so if you don't like something you started drawing than you can erase it easier if you use a pencil like a 6b erasing this will show .
I start with a light lead pencil drawing lightly so when I get it to point that I can say yes this is right than I use a darker lead to bring it out. If you are trying to do light shadow work on your picture use the side of you pencil lead just scribbling back & fourth not hard but lightly now take your finger & rub it over the scribbling you will see it fill in. also get a good eraser. a spongy eraser is a bad eraser need a harder rubber eraser .

∙ 13y agoIf you are just looking for a low priced standard graphite woodcased pencil that writes and draws smooth with little to no smudges I would recommend:
Dixon Ticonderoga Black (almost identical to a blackwing 602 if you ask me...)
Papermate Mirado Black Warrior
California Republic Palomino
If you are looking for higher standard (and higher price) drawing pencils you might try:
Derwent
Staedtler Mars
Beginning and average artists typcially find a range between 3H and 6B to be more than adequate for most projects. Capture what you see... There is no camera like your mind.
i do agree but 2B's can be good sometimes, all depends on what your drawing.
[From Dixonart: I would recommend Tombow Mono-Homograph pencils. They were known as Japanese animation pencils, but they really good quality for all kinds of graphite drawings.]

∙ 12y agoPencils made by Staedtler, Berol and Faber-Castell are some of the best quality ones available. For general drawing a medium hardness is best: HB or F, perhaps a B if you like a lot of dark shading in your drawings. Keeping the point long and very sharp is always a good idea (I call this a "harpoon point") - this allows for very precise and delicate lines, but by using the sideof the long point you can shade in large areas quite quickly.

Not a single mechanical pencil is good for drawing because you cant shade with them or do different textures. Instead of mechanical pencils try out Ticonderoga pencils by Dixon and trust me they are the World's Best Pencil. How do I know I had to get these pencils for art class they are awesome!
