However if you are talking about S?ti and her elder sister (she was supposed to look older than S?ti), her sister is 175cm tall and s?ti is 170 cm tall. Bigger difference than the two Japaneses.
No she is not that character, her skin is darker, she don't have the "antenas" and her hair is shorter. But her complexion might be a bit similar, especially the look she gives.
For the rough, the shadows, the greys and the details I use a H pencil (hard lead), then I darken the lines and the put some black color with an HB pencil (medium lead).
I am not a big fan of soft leads, because I am quiet messy and it will make smudges on the page (I like to lay my hands and forearms when I draw).
Because I am drawing quiet a lot those last week,s I went more confident about the characters and backgrouds design. I try to do this without a rough (aka "the page I made to see if what I will do is not crapy) so I have a reason not to mess up. But since I know what I will put on my pages, even weeks before I draw it, It helps me saving time and then to focus on the final aspect. For the first chapter It took me 6 to 10 hours days to do a page. 3 hours to do the rough and correct it, the rest to do the final pages. Now it takes me 6 to 8 hours only to do the final page.

ahh,i see what you mean i'm actually retty good with soft lead though,for the dark lines i like to go over with a writers "new age" bak tip pen(found it in my dad's drawer,didnt know they were real)and it works great,it just sucks when the ink runs from the pen onto te page,no way to fix it so i have to start all over
