## What is Pencil Grades?

Pencil Grades is a focused reference and practice companion for graphite drawing — from 9H precision lines all the way to a velvety 9B.

A clean grade chart, paired techniques and a simple session log on a single stage. No clutter, no popups, no upsells.

KEY FEATURES
• Complete 9H to 9B grade chart with darkness, hardness and tonal range
• Each grade lists ideal use cases — drafting, underdrawing, portrait, expressive shading
• Curated drawing techniques: parallel hatch, cross-hatch, stippling, smooth blend, scumble, sgraffito, frottage and more
• Each technique paired with the grades that suit it best
• Session log to track what you practiced, which grade you used and for how long
• Italian-paper aesthetic with quiet typography — built to stay out of the way

BUILT FOR PRACTICE
Whether you are blocking in an architectural drawing, working a tonal portrait, or pushing a quick gesture sketch, Pencil Grades helps you pick the right pencil and the right mark.

PRIVACY
No tracking. No accounts. Your session log lives on your device.
