As you said, it has a crayon-y consistency. "Softness" refers to the lead/filling of the pencil, and soft pencils will leave more pigment, tend to be more fragile, and have a darker, "oily" finish that is easily smudged.
It WILL still leave holes if you shaded with the sharp edge of the pencil and/or the paper is thin, though.
What I do with most of my pencils is to whittle down the lead with a sharp knife to look something like this:
For "soft" pencils, especially, that cut allows me to use the sides of the filling without the filling breaking too easily, but it still maintains the sharp point so I can shade hard to reach areas. The best bonus is that it is "self-sharpening"

use thicker paper if you dont want that many holes due to the table's surface.. but still there will be some.. but then again.. that is what makes a sketch look like a sketch 
which you cant get it with digital drawing.. even with effects the outcome is not quite the same
so its about the thickness of the paper...okay. which you cant get it with digital drawing.. even with effects the outcome is not quite the sameyeaah,agree...but too many holes will ruin it though...
