On the same topic, to develop tonal washes for preliminary portrait drawings, Richard Sherr says he uses graphite pencil "along with powdered graphite dissolved in alcohol, a mixture that I apply with a brush" (Portrait Highlights From the Pages of American Artist Magazine, May 2002). With just graphite and a toned ground, he acieves a very delicate "painted" tonal head.

Note to Cynthia: Is it legal/ethical to reproduce the magazine illustration I'm referring to as an example in a post on this forum? Just curious.
