Murray_Cholowsky: Pen & Ink - Shading/Techniques/Lesson (1 of 4)
Welcome to the world of ink art!! This will be an introductory article showing you some different types of line and shading techniques that are the basics for most ink drawings. I've also included a step-by-step lesson with a line drawing you can use to follow along and practice a few techniques. These techniques can be used on their own or can be combined in a single drawing, so don't be afraid to experiment with this medium. Unlike graphite, ink is a permanent medium that is not very forgiving as far as making corrections to your work.
Among these Pen and Ink resources you'll find drawing exercises and artist's pages featuring both traditional and modern pen-and-ink techniques. How to draw a brick wall using pen, ink and wash. Hatching or stippling the brick or stone textures in pen and ink, with a dilute black watercolor wash to create tonal values.

The best markers are the ones that are reliable and give quality results, but like anything the best markers are quite expensive, but there are also cheaper alternatives. The first markers are the high end and professional double ended markers from Prismacolor I've heard a good amount of feedback and read reviews on what people think about these art markers and the results are very positive, with a combination of broad tip and fine tips these are very versatile markers for drawing with. And the results when used give a clear color streak and produce professional results, although I have not used these myself yet. these would be the top choice based on others reviews of art markers.
