Well what I use is Copic Markers, they have various shades for one color, (for example, lightest blue, lighter blue, light blue, blue, etc. Almost like the color wheels found on digital programs). I don't have a lot of those different colors, so what I do is that I go over it multiple times to give it that darker shade, then I slowly fade out to go into the lighter colors that way it blends better. Not sure if that made sense but if you check out this piece here: I Am Hunter (Digital) and look at the top of helmet you can see how I used different variations of red to bring out the shade. Although it's a digital piece, the concept still applies to traditional art as well.
Seeing how you're using colored pencil for your artworks, it's a little bit harder (for me at least), but like I said earlier the concept is the same. You just have to find colors that blend well with each other, and if you don't have a way blend from dark blue to blue, then apply some pressure and go over your shaded area multiple times (for the dark blue effect) then gradually fade it until it becomes lighter (for the light blue effect).
In summary (cause I feel like I'm not making any sense):
1) Start with your base color (blue)
2) Slowly transition from blue to dark blue by applying pressure/ going over it
3) Blend colors if needed to bring better looking transition

I hope I explained that well enough for you to understand and sorry for the wall of words
Sorry for taking your time
