arcs into the desired number of equal
parts, it can easily transfer accurate
measurement by adjusting the divider

Pencil grades are the letters and
numbers you’ll often see on the end of
a pencil, for example, HB or 2B.
These grades help artists and
illustrators know how hard or soft and
how dark or light a graphite pencil is.
The H in pencil grades stands for
hardness, and the B stands for
blackness. The harder a pencil lead
is, the lighter the lines they produce
will be. Conversely, softer leads make
darker marks and thus fall into the ‘B’
side of the HB Graphite Scale.
