NEVER USE INKS! The best way to shade is by base coating the object the darkest shade then gradually adding the lighter color to raised areas. Inks are way too glossy for crevices. When light is shined on the object, the crevices are brighter than the raised areas!This looks very unprofessional to me. I would only use inks to show dirty flesh or clothing by watering the ink down. I used to use inks on my models,I never had luck with this. Even though painting the shade in yourself is harder, you will be rewarded with a very well contrasted model.[size=7]
