Use them dry for delicate tints that preserve shading and texture, or add water to release deeper, painterly tones. The soft, blendable leads respond to erasing and water, so you can refine marks, lift colour, and transition between graphic drawing and watercolour-like effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do Graphitint Pencils change a graphite drawing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGraphitint adds subtle coloured layers without losing the fine lines and value control of graphite.
