I recently bought a grey brush pen from an art shop which gives a very similar highlight to the pens you were talking about. It really does help to make things stand out.
I’ve also started using gridded paper too which helps get proportions right with layouts etc. Also developing a few standard ways to show things like headings, pictures, copy and lists also helps with getting ideas down quickly.
For example, a list item could be a dot then a line, a picture a rectangle with a line to each opposite corner.
