The best pencils for drawing and sketching are a HB, 2B, 6B and 9B. Far better than buying a whole set of pencils, most of which will never be used.

If an artist prefers softer, darker lines with rich shading and wants to achieve a more dramatic effect, a 4B pencil would be the better choice. On the other hand, if they prefer a bit more control with a slightly lighter and less intense line, then a 2B pencil might be preferable.
