this is certainly not going to shake up the fly tying world, but i tried a marker i found in that big box department store (or the local big box craft shop should have, possibly in different brand names) that has some good potential to be included in your fly tying arsenal.

its an elmers "painters" marker and was used to add the white part of the eye above. i only bought a white marker for testing and will have to go back and get a black one to finish off the eyes. just dab it on, let it dry, then apply the black. i used a fine point for the white but i will get an extra fine point for the black. after that has fully dried, overcoat with sally hansens. on this sample i simply over coated the head with some head cement. the white paint didnt run off.

some say weatherproof, others say waterproof. your choice.
