Pencil Grades
Sketching graphite Pencils come in a range of grades, from 9B to 9H, that describe the tone of the line that each pencil will produce.
The H stands for hard and the B for black. The harder pencil leaves less graphite on the surface resulting in lighter mark-making.
The pencils classed as B, on the other hand, are softer and leave much more graphite on the surface. Hence, the marks are blacker.
For both types, the higher the number, the harder or blacker they are. There are also HB pencils, which fall in the middle of the scale and are used as much for writing as drawing and F pencils which are firm.
Drawing Pens Grades
The higher the number, the wider the nib (and therefore, darker).
