They lay down smooth, rich, consistent lines and look just as good as they perform - an easy upgrade for any pencil case or art setup. The Hi-uni Graphite Pencil Set includes all 22 different hardness grades in one beautiful tin.
About hardness grades:
Pencil lead is graded based on how hard or soft it is, which comes from the clay-to-graphite ratio. H, F, HB, and B sit around the middle. Softer leads (2B–10B) are great for sketching and darker lines, while harder leads (2H–10H) make lighter, more precise marks. For reference, a standard American #2 pencil is the same as HB. In general, harder pencils make lighter lines, while softer B grades create darker marks and can smudge more easily.
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
