2B or not 2B --- that is the question?

2B is very versitile as everyone else said so it is certainly sufficient for preliminary work, but for fine illustration work or final pieces i find i use a range of pencils. i would suggest possibly investing in at least three pencils to give you the broadest range: H, 2B, and 6B. You won't go through as many 2B pencils for those really dark areas as fast and you also will prevent those dreaded indentations in your materials. If you press hard enough to leave actual indents to achieve your desired color you need to move up in softness like a 4B or 6B.

HB for me, although if you have 2B anything I guess a pencil fan would B the way to go......
4B twice as good as 2B?

2b is middle of the road, good for most projects..... If you prefer something harder, or softer, you may wish to go with something else

personaly I prefure 4B I don't know whyI just do, I like the way it works with the paper the best, but we can't always just use one type of pencile or elts we wouldn't be artist

Not to be. You should start at H and work your way up in values. =)
