The next step is to trace over the lines using a hard pencil. We like to use a "real" pencil for this step, and we find that 2H grade works well. Press quite firmly to make a good, clean line, and try to vary the line thickness for a more "manga" look, especially on the curves.
Put in the fine details, like eyebrows, eyelashes and hair at this stage. It's easy to erase any of the tracing you don't like, because the lines are so feint, while the H2 pencil is fairly resistant to erasing. It's good to keep a clean piece of scrap paper under your drawing hand while you work, because the traced lines will smudge very easily.

G'day Team!
It's been two months since the last update, around about time to post another entry, doncha think?
How's your new manga coming along? Does it have a title yet?
Can you post any sneak peek previews for us fans; maybe some of your draft character designs or something like that?
Hey wait... I just said "us" fans. No one else posts here, so I really don't know if anyone else follows you or not. lol. But don't worry, I'm sure all your other fans are lurkers ^_^
