Derwent Graphitint Pencil – Storm 18 | Water-Soluble Tinted Graphite

You know that moment when plain graphite just isn't giving you the mood you're after? Storm 18 fixes that. It's a water-soluble graphite pencil with a cool, blue-grey tint that layers like your standard HB but adds a soft colour shift underneath. Dry it on for a subtle atmospheric tone in your mid-values. Wet it and watch the pigment bloom into something richer. Round barrel sits comfortable in your hand, and the colour-coded end dip means you grab the right shade without squinting at labels. One pencil. Two techniques. Sorted
