Blue pencil reflects blue light. So what color pencil absorbs blue light?
To make a color darker (this is called a shade of the original color), add a small amount of black. If you add too much black, your color will be almost black. Another way to darken a color is to mix in some of the complementary color (the opposite color on a color wheel - see below). This produces a rich, dark color (richer than just adding black). Some pairs of complementary colors are: blue/orange, green/red, yellow/purple, black/white.

If adding layers of blue colored pencil did not achieve the desired darkening effect, the next step would be to add layers of a darker color. In this case, since you want to darken a particular shade of blue, you have a few options:
1. Layers of Black: Adding layers of black colored pencil can darken the blue tone effectively. Start by lightly applying the black color over the blue, gradually building up layers until you achieve the desired darkness. Keep in mind that too much black can overpower the blue, so it's important to find the right balance.
2. Layers of Darker Blue: If you have a darker shade of blue available, you can try layering it over the existing blue. This can help intensify the color and make it appear darker. Apply the darker blue lightly at first, gradually increasing the pressure with subsequent layers until you achieve the desired darkness.
3. Layers of Complementary Color: Use the concept of complementary colors to create contrast and make the blue appear darker. The complementary color of blue on the color wheel is orange or orange-red. Layering a small amount of an orange or orange-red colored pencil over the blue can create a visual darkening effect due to the contrast between the two colors.
Remember, when experimenting with layering colors, it's always a good idea to test on a separate piece of paper or a small area of your artwork to see how the colors blend and interact before applying it to the entire drawing.
