Have you ever wondered what the letter and number on the end of pencils stands for?
It's actually a way to describe the ratio of clay to graphite in the lead, which determines how hard/light or soft/dark it will write. H stands for hard, and B stands for black. HB stands for hard black and is typically at the middle of the spectrum, with F being the closest to it and having just a little bit more clay in it than HB, which makes it a bit firmer and lighter. 
Artists will typically use a range of the pencils, using the softer and darker ones for shading and blending and then the harder ones for crosshatching or fine line work. For writing, people typically stay between 2B and HB, but a lot of companies have branched out and created a larger range of ratios in all sizes of lead as people shift to using more mechanical pencils for drafting and drawing.

My marriage was pure happiness until the day my husband left and never returned. I felt devastated and abandoned; many loved ones tried to help me resolve the misunderstandings I had with him, but nothing worked. He had left my children and me, and before I could find out more details, I learned he was with an Asian woman; I knew then that I had to fight to win him back. I decided to contact Priest Alaska, who stepped in just in time to help me resolve the issues. He explained the procedure to achieve what I wanted, and I followed his instructions to the letter. Priest Alaska worked quickly to mend my marriage, recognizing that my husband was being wrongfully drawn away from us; just as he promised, the results materialized, and my husband returned home to us. I cannot thank him enough for everything he did. You can contact him at alaskaspellcaster44@gmail.com or visit his website: https://dralaskaspellcaster.mystrikingly.com.
