Pencils are sorted into how hard and how soft the graphite is. The scale ranges from 9H (hardest) to 9B (softest). Number 6B would mean its graphite is 4th softest.

If there is a number two pencil is there a number three pencil?

That would depend if the pencil were an H or a B. Artist pencils are identified with a number and a letter. H is for hard. A 6H pencil would be harder than a 4H pencil. B is for soft. A 6B pencil would be softer than a 4B pencil.


What is the difference between a 2h pencil and a 6b pencil?

Drawing pencils are labeled by hardness and softness. For example - 6H is the hardest (makes the lightest mark), then 4H is a little less hard (makes a slightly darker mark), 2H,etc. HB is in the middle The it goes 2B, 4B, 6B, etc. - the higher number in the B's, the softer it is and the darker the mark it will make.


Could you use a 4B pencil instead of a 6B pencil?

If you want. Pencils with higher numbers such as 6Bs give a darker stroke and are softer. So, if you don't mind using a harder, slightly lighter pencil, then go ahead.
