Punky Sketches

[Punk-A-Cat]

Heyo, 

If you're using soft graphite, the watercolour will lift it off and dull the colours, try harder graphite like h or 2h for your underdrawing.

Also, graphite repels water so the parts of the paper that have its grain filled up with graphite will not take the paint or take it poorly.

I was testing a method where you set the graphite with water first, it appeared to work, but I'm going to use waterbased graphite for the next one. The paper is on the cheaper side though so I think that's not helping.
Mostly messing around because I prefer the look of graphite to ink.
