Default Sharpies (the marker) ain't cutting it -- or marking it....

To get good contrast, a white pencil (or yellow, or pale blue)
sometimes works better than the graphite kind.
Grease pencils and lumber crayons (or just Crayolas)
have a place, too.

'Sharpie' and felt-tip markers can be found in dark
colors, but it's useful to have a white or silver
paint marker as well (seek in any art-supplies store).

Sharpie has a silver one at Walmart. When you need it you really need
it.
