Though it may be more difficult at first to sharpen a very soft pencil, such as a 6B, or a very hard pencil, such as a 6H, this is just a matter of practice. You will need a single-edge razor blade, which can be purchased at your local art store or hardware store.

Sharpening a drawing pencil can sometimes be challenging because the lead in drawing pencils is often softer than that of regular writing pencils. The softer lead can be more prone to breaking during sharpening, especially if the pencil sharpener is not sharp enough or if too much pressure is applied. To sharpen a drawing pencil more easily, make sure to use a high-quality sharpener specifically designed for art pencils and sharpen gently to avoid breakage.

Why do drawing pencils not have erasers?
Either way, drawing pencils tend to lack erasers because the expectation is not that artists never erase, but rather when they do erase, artists want control, comfort, and the utmost safety for their medium (be it paper, canvas, or anything else).
