Traditional manga drawing often involves specific tools. Key supplies include mechanical pencils (0.3mm to 0.7mm) for sketching, dip pens (G-pen for strong lines, Maru pen for fine lines, Saji pen for even lines) or fine-liner pens for inking, India ink, white correction fluid (like white out or Dr. Ph. Martin's Bleedproof White), and specialized manga paper or smooth Bristol board. Rulers, erasers (kneaded and plastic), and lightboxes are also highly useful for tracing and clean-up.
