I've bought a couple of pens to do free handing work but they don't seem to hold the colour once dry. Can any of you wonderful dakkaians recommend any pens that will work?

Pigma Micron Pens by Sakura.

+1 for Sakura Pigma. The ink stays wet for a while, since it can't soak in like it would on paper, but once it does dry, it's pretty resilient (archival ink - both waterproof and UV resistant). I actually consider the long (compared to a Sharpie, or something - we're still talking seconds, not minutes) dry time a boon, as it allows you to erase mistakes before they set.
