These references are just experiments; even .- Some notes.- Derwent Graphitints handle exactly like 8B Sketch & Wash pencils, the "dark wash" of the many other brands like Sanford Prismacolor that produces Sketch & Wash pencils in Light Wash, Medium Wash (usually 4B) and Dark Wash (8B). That is, used dry, they are soft and dark and smudgy. You can blend them with your fingers. You can blend them with a bit of toilet paper, facial tissue, cotton bud, nylon imitation cotton bud, tortillon, bit off the end of your frayed jeans, tortillon, stump, Colour Shaper (another UK invention from Royal Sovereign that is indispensible for pastels and oil pastels at least to me, a bit like a rubber tip paint brush in various sizes and hardnesses) or any other blending tool. so I wanted to experiment blending them with watercolor, and I did in the following order:
Experiment with some layers over Canson 98 Lb
Order:
1. graphite diluted in water and applied by brush
2. fixer
3. Color through Watercolor
4. Derwent pencil
5. Fixer
Notes; the paper was to thin for this application, but this was the result:

Ref 908
Experiment now with the following order over hot press paper
1. watercolor
2. Derwent pencil (all shadows on it)
3. Molding paste with color applied with spatula (small thickness possible)
4. White gouache to highlight
5. Fixer

I need to make more experimentations to check how to take advantage for blending pencil and watercolor, nevertheless the pencil once fixed gives the details we want, it is important to have a clear and accurate guideline before the molding paste is applied which also works as a shield to avoid muddy conditions, as I did this an experiment didn´t take the care I needed and some of my skin áreas were dirtier and I didn´t make so many details as i could do it.- like I said is an experiment but I have so much fun working on it
