      I've had art as an extra class for a few years now (science students don't have it by default), and my teachers always emphasized more on oil painting techniques. So what that means is us students would have to learn other mediums on our own, or not learn at all :v

    • @DrocoYEET
      @DrocoYEET Год назад +2

      I literally just learnt this in science a week ago. Like different H and B pencils have different amounts of graphite and clay. The more graphite means a darker tone. For example, a 4B pencil has 79% graphite and 15% clay, compared to a 4H pencil with a 55% graphite and 39% clay. *Note that most pencils have a 5% wax content.

    I do a lot of graphite and sketches and I always use a 2H pencil for my outlines on everything. It's light and doesn't really smudge, so I can ink over it for my watercolors or put colored pencil over them and they don't get all over everything else.

    Ooh! I learned about this in art class!
    Basically the lead in "H" pencils are made with more clay, making them harder and lighter.
    Meanwhile "B" pencils are made with less clay an more graphite, making them softer and darker.
