Hello, just come across your question, looks like no-one's answered so in case you're still after an answer: as someone who's recently been learnign to use a bow pen, I'd recommend that as the best way to do it. I've also spent quite a bit of time reading about and trying other methods and come to the conclusion that there isn't any other way that produces the kind of really fine, accurate results you can get with a bow pen. It is quite a steep learning curve, you have to spend some time with it but once you get the hang of it, it's enormous fun and you'll be really pleased with what you can do in a situation like this, where a thin red line is what's called for !

Hope this helps, Chas
