i normally go with a .5 mechanical pencil at first, ink with a .5 fine tip pen, then i color it with some watercolor pens. they blend really well, but it definately looks like marker. very vibrant though
Get letraset tria markers. Chisel, fine and Brush tips all in one marker. The brush tips are fuckin killer.
copic or letraset, like stevie boy says- letraset tria are the ones.. I havnt read the thread so this might already have been said but it is all about the paper......get yourself a copic bleedproof pad. no bleed and unlike the pens you can get them cheap, £7,$10. And ^^^ someone up there was slating Crayola pens....check out the crayola washables (these are for under 3's,so you can get the ink out of sofas and my carpet) they are water based so you can wet the pen after you have laid on a colour and get good shading effects, or wet a kitchen towel and lift the pigment out...telling you now, you will not get a better filling pen for £4,$6 for twelve.
I use Uni Paints for fills and the Uni Super Paint marker for outlines. They work great for me. But when you first get them, make sure you shake for about 2 minutes and then press down on blank paper until ink starts coming out. You should get them!
Last Page I love it at the stores in our area. Even if you are rightfully one of the first in line, everyone just glares at you like you shouldnt be there. I especially loved last year when I got a digital camera on sale at KMart. Got the last one, and everybody flipped. Then, the 2GB SD cards were on sale for like 12, I think. I had to make several attempts at getting over to their location because it was a popular spot for the elderly to hang out for some reason.
