What hardness of lead is generally used for freehand sketching?

I keep a 2H, an HB and a 4B pencil in my sketching kit. The 2H pencil gives me lighter lines, holds its point better and is best to define the side of a figure in full light or the backgrounds of landscapes. The HB pencil, is readily available, holds a point for a short time, and is used to do light shading, to define central areas of a figure or middle distance of a landscape. The 4B pencil is of a softer lead, is great for shading and blending, and can be used on its side to give larger strokes of colour.

What pencil is the best for drawing?

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 .

If the speed of light were the same in air and water, then the pencil would appearstraight, NOT broken.

What type of art supplies work best for tracing?

For tracing, you will need tracing paper and a pencil. Often times it is helpful to also have some sort of clipboard, tape, or tacky material to keep the tracing paper in place. If you're looking to do more heavy duty tracing, you can invest in a light board, which will shine light through regular paper, allowing you to see what you're tracing.
