What pencil is the best for drawing?

aletter & number like (4h) is a light lead & a (6b) is a darker lead As used in shadowing. choose a pencil with light lead like a 4H. use this so if you don't like something you started drawing than you can erase it easier if you use a pencil like a 6b erasing this will show .

I start with a light lead pencil drawing lightly so when I get it to point that I can say yes this is right than I use a darker lead to bring it out. If you are trying to do light shadow work on your picture use the side of you pencil lead just scribbling back & fourth not hard but lightly now take your finger & rub it over the scribbling you will see it fill in. also get a good eraser. a spongy eraser is a bad eraser need a harder rubber eraser .
