{"product_id":"deleter-french-curves-manga-drawing","title":"Deleter French Curves — Manga Drawing Templates","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhy curves are harder than straight lines\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eStraight lines in manga can be drawn freehand or with a standard ruler. Consistent curves cannot. The specific curve shapes that appear throughout manga — the gentle arc of a face, the crisp curve of a panel border, the sweep of a cloak or background element — require a guide to reproduce consistently, especially under the time pressure of production work. Standard French curves from draughting supplies work but are not designed for ink — the flat edge sits on the paper surface and allows ink to run underneath, producing a blurred line rather than a clean one. Deleter's French curves have a raised edge that holds the ruler above the paper, so the ink dries at the edge rather than wicking under it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThree curves, wide coverage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe set of three covers a wide range of curve shapes from tight radius to very gentle arc. Most manga panel borders, hair, and clothing curves fall within the range these three templates cover between them. They work equally well for linework with a dip pen, technical pen, or brush pen.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deleter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53353530097992,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0935\/0709\/2808\/files\/Deleter-french-curve-3-set.png?v=1782208210","url":"https:\/\/inkwellartsupplies.com\/products\/deleter-french-curves-manga-drawing","provider":"Inkwell Art Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
