Branded HB and B Pencils: What’s the Difference?

Understanding the difference between HB and B pencils is essential for selecting the right pencil for your needs:

• Lead Hardness: HB pencils have a medium hardness and darkness, making them versatile for basic writing and drawing, whereas B pencils are softer, producing darker and thicker lines.
• Shading and Artwork: B pencils are better suited for shading and artistic sketches due to their softer lead that allows for a greater range of tone.
• Durability: HB pencils tend to hold a point longer and are less prone to breaking compared to the softer B pencils.
• Smudging: B pencils, being softer, are more likely to smudge, which can be a desirable feature for artists or illustrators.
