I use a selection of Leteraset Promarkers. Use a warm grey #1 or #2 for the lightest tones, and a #5 or #6 for darker areas. You need a quick stroke to keep the ink light.
Sometimes I go over the Letereset pens with a graphite stick to give a bit of texture but that only works if the paper has a bit of texture for the graphite to grab onto.
Picking warm or cool grays can change the feel of the picture so experiment.
What sort of pen did you use to add in the washed out tones? I really like the sketchy style of it.

Thanks will give it a go. The style of your sketches are really nice. I prefer working with ink, seems to be more free than just pencil.
