Drawing pencils are classified by the hardness or softness. The harder the pencil, the lighter the led's gonna be. The softer, the darker. I believe the names for the pencils from harder to softer are: 6H, 4H, 2H, H, HB, B, 2B, 3B, 4B, 5B, 6B, 8B. And there might be some new ones called F and XX9. I think. Anyway, the H's are the harder, you can remember that because H could stand for "harder." The B's are the softer. And if you remember the H, then you won't need to remember the B.
