Graphite Drawing Pencils

Harder grades give a light precise line that erases cleanly and can score the paper if pressed. Softer grades lay dark tone quickly, blunt fast and smudge against a hand or a sleeve. HB sits in the middle and suits writing rather than drawing. Buy a spread rather than one grade, and match the paper to the softest. See drawing pencils, artist pencils and erasers.
