Pencils

Pencils are often considered a fundamental tool for students and professionals alike, making them a staple item in any pencil case. Standard pencils are usually made with a graphite core and a wooden barrel, and are commonly available in the HB grade, which is suitable for general writing and drawing tasks. Drawing pencils are available in different grades, such as 6B, 5B, 4B, 3B, 2B, B, HB, F, H, 2H, 3H, 4H and 5H, with B standing for black and H for hard. These grades indicate the pencil's darkness and hardness, with softer pencils producing darker lines and harder pencils producing lighter lines. Professional artists often use a range of pencils to create intricate and detailed drawings.
