I love 4B. And 4H. My favorite pencils are these two grades. Different brands even. I just love writing and making light marks with 4H, and gently sketching with 4B - if I can have just a single pencil for the rest of my life, it’d have to be my lovely carpenter’s pencil-shaped 4H. Love it! And the flat and wide side is awesome for shading in areas. And it’s encased in a cool unvarnished wood that has patina from my hand oils and smudges, makes it my own.
Gosh I paid a lot of money at art school for this info thanks guy
this reads as stark classism. hopefully you’re not insinuating that only people with money should have access to information 🤮
I use an H9 for a layout lines, an F for rendering and a B to for shade & shadow in an architectural drawings.
I have never been so interested in pencils in my life
Am HB is considered the best all around pencil, which is why it's the standard pencil on all the racks in stores, and the standard school pencil. There isn't much you can't do with an HB, whether it's writing of sketching. As an artist, I need a wider range of pencils in order to make life easier. My most used range is from 4H to 6B. I do occasional use a higher H pencil, but not often. A 8H is pretty common, and sometimes a General's 9XXB, but when I need something that dark I'm more likely to use a black colored pencil, or even a carbon pencil.
Even with mechanical pencils the range is about the same. I have four 0.5 Pentel P205 pencils loaded with 4H, HB, 2B, and 4B, and two clutch pencils loaded with 5.6mm lead in 6B and 8B. 2B is the most commonly used pencil for most artists, and for most experienced writers, but an artist simply needs a wide range, or the limitations make doing anything other than simple sketches, or very selective drawings, much harder and more time consuming.
I use the Derwent pencil set that consists of 6 graphite pencils. HB, 2B and 4B
Thanks, that was really well explained and easy to understand. The drawings at the end are fantastic.
Thank you !
Let me guess that your light came from the right. It made the 9B look brighter than the 2B and 3B. But good video =)
Can you do a colored pencil drawing tutorial of an American Flag with the prismacolor premier pencils?
Perfect video!! Amazing information 🎉 thx u😊😂❤
from what I read F stands for firm.
Perfectly right. "Fine" has no meaning in the pencil world.
@@scicx It depends entirely on who makes the pencil, and what they say it should be called. Just as there are no standards for softness, there are also no standards for what to call a pencils. Most agree on the number scale, but not the gradient within that scale, and some call an F pencil "firm", and others call it "fine". But "firm" is certainly the most common. Still. I've had companies say both terms are correct, so I don't worry about it.
Personally, I love the fact that there are no standards. If there were, every pencil brand would be like every other pencil brand, and that would be a disaster. My favorite single brand is General's, but I have F, H, 2B, and 4B pencils from several brands because each gives me a little difference in tone without having to put too much pressure on the pencil.
The problem with trying to get a wide range from a single pencil, such as the 4B, is that the dark side of the scale requires too much pressure and this results in shine, which the light side doesn't cover toothy paper at all. I learned about forty years ago that it's best to limit how much out of its natural range you push any pencil. This is why I have select pencils from several brands. I use them all, each according to what it gives me without being pushed.
Thank you!!
ok so im new, what is a general layout pencil???
very informative. thank you for this video! :)
Thank You.
Thank you very match 👍👍
thank you;)
what is GENERALs layout pencil, what do you use it for the best, pls explain.
please i would like to know too thanks
It's darker than graphite but functions like a graphite pencil. This one or a Prismacolor Ebony pencil is really all you need. learn to make 10 values from light to dark with one and you won't need a set of H and B graphite pencils.
@@christopherwelch5568 where is the link in Amazon?
Thank you 😍 sir
I have Derwent H set and Faber Castel B set,,,,,,,
thanks for this video! which pencil is better to use when sketching for painting with watercolours? will they all loose up and smear with water? maybe there is a special pencil for that, I'd love to know! thnak you, Simone
Moctezuma Emmanuel García Mendoza thank you!
Whats the number on GL pencil? 555?
There's a scale up to 12B / 12H now :o
Really! Which brand would that be? Mitsubishi Hi-Uni make a 10B and a 10H, that's the most extreme I've ever seen.
@@johnnywhatevah5201 10H - 12B is by Staedtler Mars Lumograph. I have the set. Love it.
Hello sir, do you have any clips here on plastel pencils? And how to use them. I bought 50 piece set and they came as well, like 5 of them, like brownish, orange, black, gray..thank u in advance, I will check videos if there are..
Never drawn with an H pencil, I thought they were more for graphs & writing.
art vids I have ever seen

Its just a super dark Graphite pencil.

gooood,,,,,,%
The "F" does not stand for "Fine", this is a common misconception. It stands for "First".
This guy never reads the comments I guess?
