I did not kick up the contrast, but I think my scanner does that automatically? It's cheap and a bit old at this point

Color does indeed change the feeling, but I see what you mean. I do have colored pencils and have used them in the past to an effect.

I suspect my coloring is also effected by my heavy handed problem. Reading your comments has definitely been eye opening, thank you all so much for your input :)

I might have to bite the bullet and just use artist pencils, my issue with them is purely that I find them to be kind of a pain but gripping and pressing this hard also hurts my wrist in the long term, something I am currently beginning to feel the effects of, so I really should just do so.
