If you aren't confident drawing the lines on your pricking, then be all means you it lightly in pencil first. Draw the permanent lines in a waterproof fibretip type pen and then use a soft eraser to remove any traces of pencil as this will rub off onto the lace.
Do not use a biro type pen, as this can and does rub off onto your lace. One of my students inked in a fan pattern with the correct pen, but realised he had made a mistake at one place. His correction was put in with biro (he obviously had a senior moment). It was several months before he worked over that correction and several more months before the lace was off the pillow. But there was still a mark on the lace where the biro was. The lace was for a Lace Guild assessment, so he also included an in-depth study of which solvents remove biro from cotton lace!
