A 2B pencil is commonly used for general writing, sketching, and drawing due to its medium softness, which allows for smooth, dark lines. The "B" indicates that it has a softer lead than harder pencils, making it ideal for shading and creating varied line thickness. Artists often prefer 2B pencils for their versatility, as they can produce both fine details and bold strokes. Additionally, 2B pencils are popular in educational settings for note-taking and test-taking.

Which Graphite pencil will create a sharp line when creating fine detail 6H 6B 2H 2B?

Each graphite pencil, the 6H, 6B, 2H and 2B, will create a sharp line and fine detail. The difference is that the softer leads (2B, for example) will need to be sharpened more often to keep drawing this detailed. That is because, while having a sharp point when freshly sharpened, the softer the lead, the more quickly it will wear/crumble down.
