B. With larger number the softenss and blackness increases.
They go up to 14b (softest/darkest)
So the drawing is a very fine line and easy to rub out?
Instruments; the types used to make a manual drawing. Firstly a drawing board is needed to draw the drawing, so it is at a angle making it easier (However some people don't like it but it does improve the drawing). A engineering set square is needed to draw lines at a angle. A protractor is used to measure angles. A typical protractor is a semi-circular piece of plastic with 180 degrees printed around its curve. This piece of equipment is not only used in graphics for constructing accurate drawings but is also used in subjects like Mathematics. A compass is an absolute essential piece of equipment. It is well worth buying a good set which includes at least two compasses allowing the drawing of small and large circles. The drawing opposite is a 'bow' compass, this is used for drawing small circles very accurately. Cheap compasses tend to slip on the paper and break quite easily. A good, quality compass set will last a life time. Drawing Pencils are a basic requirement of any graphics course. You need a number ranging from 2B to 2H. These letters refer to the hardness of the pencil lead. When sketching a soft lead such as 2B is can be used to produce quick drawings and shading. On the other hand , when drawing precisely a 2H or even a harder pencil such as a 4H is ideal. This type of pencil keeps its sharp edge for longer and produces very fine lines.
The 'h' and 'b' rating combined with a number refer to the hardness of the graphite in a pencil. h-hard and b-soft. So the higher the number the more hard or soft it is. Hard graphite imparts much lighter marks to paper, while softer graphite makes a much darker mark. So a 6b pencil is very soft and draws quite dark while a 6h pencil is very hard and draws very light marks.
The purpose of drawing paper is to give the artist greater control over their drawing by giving him/her very specific choices of tooth (how rough or slick the paper is), weight or thickness of the paper. The feel of the pencil and how it scratches and drags against the paper is a huge factor in the experience of making these drawings.

Bold pencil used very lightly along with a rubber.

A pencil sketch is considered a generally rough graphite pencil drawing, which may have been done fairly quickly.

i would use a pencil The only safe way is with a very soft pencil and very lightly. I suggest that you don't use an HB pencil but obtain some very soft pencils from an art shop that are 2B, or 4B in softness. If you sharpen them to a fine point and press very lightly, you will make a dark enough mark without making too much of an indent in the page. To remove use a soft eraser (or a 'putty eraser') also from an art shop as these are of high quality and remove pencil marks without damage to the paper.
Drawing is very simple: take a pencil and scribble all over. Drawing can occur at home, schools or workplaces(it happens in workplaces for designs or ideas). It is said that drawing is only 3% useful. Although, in workplaces; drawing is 56% useful. I couldn't remember the accurate percentage of drawing being useful in workplaces.
Well yes...but why would you want to? The lead in a pencil is composed of graphite, not actual lead. Graphite is a soft form of carbon and very greasy. See link.
The Italian Dynamic Markings Traditionally Used To Indicate Very Soft And Very Loud Are Respectively what?
It is called a drawing compass. (And it's very handy as long as your hand doesn't slip as you turn it!)
They are made of a metallic luster material that imitates plastic but is actually a very soft metal substance. Compared to another actual plastic you will see slight differences in density and weight.
Dixon Ticonderoga is the best because it writes very smooth and has a soft eraser. When you see a box of them at a store and on the box says they are the world's best pencil they're telling the truth guaranteed!
Alvin drawing pencils are very durable and come in many varieties to meet your needs.
