sharpies for convience, rapidograph for ability to use colours and different inks. (mix custom ink colours)

Sharpies give me a headache and the shakes when drawing ... and the paper stinks of that cancer-inducing smell for a very long time ... good if drawing on plastic.
Rapidios are nice while they work.
Microns 4eva.

Crayola Chalk. I even use it to sign my checks.

I just assumed he meant microns.
although I would like to see someone doing some technical drawings with a big fat sharpy.
"so Bill, this big blotch of black... what is that supposed to be? uh huh, and this one?"

god, i would never yse anything but a rapidograph. sharpie ink smears if you color over it with alcohol-based markers, smells bad, and the nib of the pen changes width as it wears down. they're not refillable and they have a very fine spatter around the line. shell out some $$ for a set of rapidographs, they rule. a #6 rapdio is almost identical in width to a sharpie but much better in every way.
