Great review of the material! I like to draw with Derwent pencils, but because of their high cost, I do not always draw with them. For everyday drawing I use cheap analogues.

[@ChupiSama]

It is important to clarify that the designations 'H' and 'B' in pencil grading do not connote hardness and blackness, as erroneously suggested in some English references. The letters H and B represent the surnames of the original creators of the pencil hardness grades., also every pencil include graphite, clay and WAX. Plus high B pencils have a mixture of CARBON. It is noteworthy to emphasize that, despite the misinterpretation, your explanation adeptly captures the essence of this grading system. It can be disheartening when U.S. conventions import European metrics and reinterpret them to suit their preferences.
