2B, 3B, 4B, 5B, and 6B pencils are used primarily for drawing and sketching. These pencils have softer graphite cores compared to H-grade pencils, allowing them to produce darker and richer lines, making them ideal for shading and creating depth in artwork. The higher the number before the "B," the softer the pencil and the darker the mark it makes.
