What kind of pencils do the Japanese manga writers use to make their drafts?

If you're a professional, there are many necessary tools for drawing manga. 2H and HB pencils are used for drawing subplots, writing scripts, making drafts before the original is produced, etc. (Actually, they really don't use any particular pro pens for making drafts. (In fact, they really do not use any special pro pencils to make drafts, I studied manga in Japan ......)

The main dip pen, usually a large and small set of two, by replacing the different nibs to play the role of the different pens, the small one is specially fitted with rounded nibs, or pill pens, which can be drawn very fine lines, can be used to draw backgrounds or details, and can also be used to draw the background of the screen, the background of the screen. It can draw very thin lines and is usually used to draw backgrounds or details. The large one can be fitted with a variety of nibs, duck tongue pen, dysprosium pen, G pen, the most commonly used is the G pen, which can be flexible and free to express the effect of line thickness, but requires a lot of skill. Manga special paper, characterized by thick and expensive, but do not use it to use ordinary paper will be more than repeated drafts, the original will be bad unbearable. Then there is no need for me to say more, the cloud ruler is used to assist in drawing curves, generally also a large and small two. Ink is also necessary, the general characteristics of manga ink is that the ink bottle is very small. There are also white paints used to draw back white and repair mistakes. There is also dot paper is very useful, but it is difficult to buy in China. There are also brushes, feather brushes and so on, but I've never used them to imagine the effect. If it is a color manga, nowadays the coloring usually use computer, using computer drawing will need a scanner, digital board, and of course, computer, but I personally do not recommend the early use of computers.

I hope this can help you, satisfied also hope to adopt ~ thank you!
