There are tons of different ways to do it. I think having some opacity, either through pen pressure or by changing it bit by bit would be a good idea. You want your initial marks to feel light and easy to to work with rather than needlessly heavy so something like opacity or flow would help with that. I think a useful brush for this would be a normal hard round with 25% spacing and with both flow and opacity turned on. Then you can make light marks that aren't super sharp and difficult to work with. I often just have one color for my drawing and then at the same time, select the background color. This lets me switch back and forth with X in photoshop and I don't have to change the tool I'm using.

I made this quick little sketch for you. You can have chicken scratchy marks if you use them well. It can be a way to have the lines feel a bit more light and easy to work with. It's like noise in a painting, it can be used to provide a bit of ambiguity that makes it much easier to correct and change the image in its big impression. I would compare it to the painter Antonio Mancini, he avoids solidifying his painting and keeps it vibrating and it lets him change and adjust the big impression easily and quickly. It also helps avoid bias because the shapes don't trick your mind, they remain more abstract and you have less of an investment in preserving them, letting you correct it without much heartache.

Yeah sounds good. It can also be worked with to be part of the final image rather than trying to "ink" something in a comic book style.

Yeah I do basically that too.

Anyway. I'm going to bed. I'll check the thread in the morning.
