I got a large selection of colours from a warehouse store(cheap) or you can get nice pan-tone markers (expensive) from an art supply store. Sharpies are more opaque, art pens more translucent. HTH

Letraset Promarkers. I think around the £15 mark for pack of 10. Quite a few fly tackle shops/online stores do them. Art and crafts shops are pricey.

Steve Thornton uses these:

(much cheaper in the US)
