what pencil is best for drawing
Many people ask me what kind of pencil I use, well I really have no favorite, really. But if I recalled a few years back, it was probably a Clutch pencils (mechanical with big leads), then sometimes I would use thin lead mechanical pencil. But in life drawing session, I would use regular wooden pencils, or big thick graphite stick or charcoal sticks if I am drawing on a big pad. So really, it the matter of purpose or how I like them at time.
I personally use 2B-4B regular wood pencil of any major brands in art store.
Nowadays, I use what I can find around me pen or pencil doesn’t matter as long as I can fit the proper lines and value in the sketchbook.

A lot of good professional artists I know have their own preferences, they use different kind of tool varies from person to person. One of the best artist I know can draw anything so great with just regular mechanical pencil with hard lead (2H, or H). But I probably wouldn’t be able to pull that off, I love dark lead but not too soft. So it is really up to you to decide which will fit you.
There are many kinds of drawing pencils; here’s an overview of lead hardness, line darkness, and varieties of pencils for drawing.
A good pencil is an artist’s best friend. No subject is beyond an artist’s rendering if they have the pencils they need. A good rule of thumb to remember what each pencil does is to remember that the softer the lead, the darker your line will be. Pencils with “B” in the name are soft. Pencils with “H” in the name are harder leads.
