u need a watercolor paper. i like arches blocks.
dont rec wetting the pencil, except for high emphasis. but if u wet the paper, you’ll get a strong line.

there’s also a trick w salt water, but i’m not sure what it is exactly. dont do art anymore, but my shero, ruth vansickle ford was a master, and that’s her trick. i’ll try to look that up. it was in a biography.
