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.
I would like to know more about Inktense pencils. I have had several places that could have used them. My last project was a border made with a fat quarter. Each side of the border has a seam. The fabric is a beautiful paisley, and had some lines in it. Adding to some of the lines might disguise the seam more.
This was a challenge project. I had to use that fabric and only got the one fat quarter. It looks very nice where it is, but I would like it better if I could disguise those seams.
