Pencils graded H, F, HB and B are of average hardness. Pencils ranging from 2B to 10B are softer and are used for sketching, while 2H to 10H pencils are harder than average. A common American #2 pencil is equivalent to an HB pencil. These are the lead grades from hardest to softest: 10H 9H 8H 7H 6H 5H 4H 3H 2H H F HB B 2B 3B 4B 5B 6B 7B 8B 9B 10B. The harder the pencil the lighter the mark, and the softer B-grade leads tend to create darker colors and smear easily.
