strangely I use the most cheapest and most used commerical top of the line colours called Crayola Crayons The coloured inks are called "Pip Squeaks" and the I use crayola Crayon pencils and I use those to define the character more after my coloured flats are done .... it's rather easy for me just oposite from Copic Markers which I am yet to use I just don't have enought $$$$$
