Pencils that make a dark mark typically have a softer lead, such as those graded with lower numbers on the H-B scale, specifically 2B, 4B, and 6B. These softer leads contain more graphite and less clay, resulting in a darker and smoother mark on paper. Conversely, harder pencils (like H or F grades) produce lighter marks due to their increased clay content. For the darkest marks, artists often prefer using 6B or 8B pencils.

If the number 2 pencil is the most popular why is it still number 2?
Because it can't print fast enough to beat number 1. The #2 pencils are so labeled because their darkness and hardness approximates those of a US classification (previously French and British) of graphite pencil leads. They are hard enough to resist breakage and soft enough to make a clear mark. Generally the harder a pencil is, the sharper the point can be, and hard pencils usually make dim marks. You can buy #1 pencils (softer and darker) and #3 pencils (harder and not as dark), and even #2.5 which indicates you are getting a slightly harder, less distinct graphite. Colored pencils tend to be softer and drawing pencils tend to be harder. (see the related link for more)

Are 4b pencils the same as 4hb pencils?
No, 4B pencils and 4H pencils are not the same. The "B" in 4B stands for "black," indicating a softer lead that produces a darker mark, while the "H" in 4H stands for "hard," indicating a harder lead that produces a lighter mark. The grading scale for pencils ranges from H (hard) to B (black), with F (fine point) in between, so 4B is much softer than 4H.
