Painting with Manga Studio's Pencils

Because the Pattern Brush in Manga Studio stresses my computer's processor, I'm exploring the tonal potential of the simpler Pencil Tool.  Here's a "painterly" studio version of a location pen sketch from my previous post, of a mother showing a photo she just took with her smartphone to her 2 boys. Since one can't pencil lighter values over darker ones (unlike Photoshop's misnamed "Pencil"), they were erased rather than painted over opaquely, as the screenshot in transparent mode over a green background shows. Revealing lighter values instead of applying them was a brain-twisting exercise though.
