Personally, I like to use a Micron pen (Sakura Pigma is my brand of choice). Some folks use one to lay out their grid but fill the squares with paint. I do the whole thing with the markers, as I'm generally doing very small patterns that lack internal highlights (once sealed, the ink looks no different than a dark black paint, so it's purely a matter of convenience).

I also don't prescribe to the "it's Orks, so go ahead and be sloppy" doctrine, as many here do, which means I want the precision a Micron pen affords. To me, a loose or crooked pattern reflects poorly on the actual painter, not the assumed Ork grot painter, and simply doesn't look as good. Of course, some folks have sufficient brush control to use a brush and paint for the whole process with equally clean results. I wasn't one (due in no small part to having naught but crappy brushes with crude points) when I started applying checks and dags, and I've simply stuck with the same method.

Gargantuan is entirely right, though, that you should start with your lighter color. Makes things much easier on you.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/559803/6187518.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/559803/6187518.page GMT
