You need a mid-grey that actually layers and washes, not another flat grey pencil that breaks on the second hard stroke. This Derwent Inktense Block in Charcoal Grey 2100 does the job. Draw it dry for texture, then hit it with water and watch it spread into a soft, translucent grey wash. One block covers the space a pencil would take twenty minutes to fill. $6.09, sitting on our shelf, no six-day wait
