I really like the fine red marker for demonstrating flow, be it actions, events, conditions or state changes, etc. Agreed.

I am a big fan of Prismacolor markers. They have 3 different point sizes for varying thickness, and there are even micro-point markers for the finest of fine line work. They're art markers so they layer, thus enabling the use of tone and depth. What other tools do people use that allow them to convey emphasis?
