Drawing with Graphitint Pencils

Finally found time to do a quick sketch in journal this afternoon. It felt good to have pencil in hand. Returning to this medium is joyful and refreshing. I look forward to more drawing and experimenting with these tinted graphite pencils. Water can be added to create a watercolor effect. After completing a detailed drawing, I am not sure about adding water to create washes. That is scary. A drawing could be ruined with one swish.
