FAQs about Sketching Pencils

Sketching pencils are tools designed for drawing and shading, typically made with a graphite core. They come in various hardness grades to create different lines and tones.

  • H (Hard): Produces light, fine lines. The higher the number (e.g., 4H), the harder the pencil and lighter the mark.
  • B (Black): Softer graphite, produces darker, bolder lines. The higher the number (e.g., 6B), the softer and darker it is.
  • HB: A balance between hard and soft, similar to a standard writing pencil.
  • F (Fine Point): Sits between HB and H, slightly harder.
  • Graphite pencils: Smooth and shiny, great for fine details and subtle shading.
  • Charcoal pencils: Matte and richer black, ideal for bold lines, deep shadows, and dramatic effects.
  • Smooth paper (Bristol, drawing paper): Ideal for fine details and line work.
  • Toothier paper (newsprint, sketch pads): Better for shading and blending.
  • Heavyweight paper (mixed media, watercolour paper): Suitable for layered sketches or mixed media work.

Work from top to bottom (or opposite for left-handers). Use a sheet of paper under your hand to avoid transferring oils, and then apply a fixative spray once finished to seal the sketch.
