H stands for “hard”, meaning the lead core is on the harder side of the spectrum and will make lighter marks. H pencils are good for sketching, light shading and precision work since hard pencils can keep their point sharper for longer.

Harder pencils are better for darker shading and brings good look for the drawing.

Artist ( fresher) , i can draw anything

While the softer B pencils (6B and up) are generally considered the best for shading, there's no reason to discount the harder H pencils,
