2. Pencils:

The grade of the pencil lead is marked on the pencil. For instance, HB denotes medium grade. An increase in hardness is shown by values put in front of H such as 2H, 3H, etc. For example, a 3H pencil is harder than a 2H pencil. Softer pencils are marked as 2B, 3B, 4B, etc. A pencil marked 3B is softer than a 2B pencil. A pencil marked 4B is softer than 3B, etc.

Starting a drawing may be made with H or 2H pencils. Lettering and dimensioning should be done with H and HB pencils only.
