For beginners, it's important to understand your materials prior to developing any techniques. Mastering how to hold pencil in different ways and how to control pressure is a top most technique needed.

Renu sundriyal The letter "H" on a drawing pencil stands for "hard" and indicates the degree of hardness of the pencil's graphite. Pencils with an "H" grade are harder and produce lighter lines because they contain more filler and less graphite.
