If you like the control you get using a sharpie, I have had success using soft pastels (not the oil ones) applied with a small brush, using either black, browns, or greys, to do my preshading. You get a much more feathered edge, still have the control you like, and they won't react adversely to subsequent overcoats like the sharpie can. Their one drawback is that it is best to apply them over a matt primer coat, so if you don't normally prime your models then you need to add an extra step, but that's it.
