All of the shadow areas are done with the speedball ink. After it dried I put about three more layers on. Using the markers I would compare the values against two other values and then mark an area in and blend it with my thumb to get that rough surface that I like. Don't panic when the paper starts to come apart in little balls. And enjoy the fact that your fingertips are going to get really, really black. Be careful what you touch...no folding white shirts on laundry day! I was going to work more on the halftone transition areas but I kind of like the abrupt hard edges seen on the chin, cheek and neck. That's how I use the ink, brush and Faber Castell Pitt big brush marker pens in black and white.
