This sketch was done digitally on my iPad on sketchbook pro. I printed it out on 11x17 image and used a light box to render my final image in ink. If I had to sketch out anything, it was very light and easily erased.
In short, pencils and I don't get along. I'm too much of a neat freak.
There may be several solutions to your problem so here we go...
if you do want to continue using that blue pencil, I would suggest making much lighter strokes. Take the pencil and draw with the side of your hand, like your doing a sketch. A lighter tone of the blue should not show up on the scanner. Don't try to RENDER with the pencil. Just use it to show where you want your shapes to go. I also have found other artists that use a 4H pencil instead, and then go over with a darker pencil.
You may want to recalibrate the scanner or adjust the scanning to a lighter setting so it's not picking up all the noise of the blue pencil. Some scanning software allow for that.
Are you scanning in black and white or in grayscale? Grayscale picks up EVERYTHING. You want to use the b&w setting when there is blue line on the page. Or, you can adjust the brightness and contrast after its been scanned in, if you have photoshop.
Let me know if any of this helps.
My motto is to work with whatever you have.
