What do pencil grades mean?
Ever heard of pencil grades? In the world of drawing, pencils are graded by their hardness and darkness. Manufacturers use an H to represent hardness and B to represent blackness. When building your personal drawing kit, it’s a good idea to get a range of pencils for different uses. Check out our collection of pens, pencils, and markers at Five Below!

What type of eraser is best for drawing?
Finding the best eraser for drawing is mostly a matter of personal preference. Some artists like to use kneaded erasers, whereas others like to use vinyl erasers. Our drawing kits include one of each, so that you can get a feel for which you prefer.

Can I use regular printer paper for drawing?
While you may not want to use printer paper with your painting supplies, it’s generally okay for drawing. That said, we prefer a sketchbook for practicing your drawing skills. Not only do they keep your drawings neat and tidy, but they serve as keepsakes for you to look back on years down the road. In 5 or 10 years, you’ll love to look back at your earliest sketchbooks and marvel at how far you’ve come!
