Welcome!
Welcome to another exciting edition of #TuesdayToolsAndTechniques! Today, we're delving into the intriguing world of those mysterious numbers and letters adorning the pencils in your drawing set. Have you ever wondered what they mean? Well, wonder no more, because we're here to demystify it all for you.
Hb and 2B pencils
We all know the trusty HB and 2B pencils that have become our artistic companions in our everyday sketching adventures. But have you ever paused to ponder the significance behind those enigmatic codes? Fear not, fellow artists, for we're about to unravel the secrets right here.
Array of Pencils
In the enchanting realm of drawing sets, you'll find an array of pencils that span from the mystical B to the mighty 8B, not to mention the intriguing HB, F, and H. Let's embark on a journey of discovery together!
What does it mean?
Picture this: H stands for Hard, F stands for Firm, and B stands for Black. Simple and satisfying, right? But that's just the tip of the artistic iceberg. The intriguing part comes when we traverse the spectrum from B to 8B. Brace yourself, because here's the golden rule: the higher the number, the deeper and richer the blackness of the pencil. It's like unlocking different shades of artistic brilliance with every number you ascend.

Expression
