color sketch

This sketch is done in Derwent Graphitint water soluble colored graphite. Its just what it claims to be weter soluble graphite with pigment added. I really like the way the color lays on the paper, especially after it is wet. I find it completley different from (and I like it alot more than)traditional watercolor pencils. The addition of the graphite gives it the feel of regular graphite pencils, and I find the colors so much richer than the traditional water color pencils. I'm practicing with just 12 colors right now, but I plan to get my hands on the full 24 color range soon. (Jerry's Artarama here I come.)
