I have scraps to experiment on.
I can't quite justify buying a large set of colors for a one-time project.
I did not get the free-form drawing gene.
Hi Bearisgray,
I use inktense pencils for many projects. I love all the possibilities of colors and artistic expression.
Inktense and other Derwent pencils allow you to shade or tint your work. You can layer the colors until you get your desired look. I have to say that I am a bit confused about what you mean about drab down your blocks. A less labor intensive solution may be to tea or coffee dye or even Ritz gray or taupe watered down to the desired shade. I hope this is useful. Feel free to PM me.
