Great site!
Unfortunately, I'm not planning to use press and peel.
Its not available here.
I'm planning to draw it by hand.
What kind of marker would I use?
How can I trace the shematics from printed paper into the
board?

Sorry. I'm a complete newbie.

i use the LumoColour pens you can get them in any colour and in most parts of the world (or Maplin if your a UK based newb) just make sure you get the WATERPROOF one with a fine tip

*EDIT* you can get PnP blue from small bear-he ships international and his rates are good

i prefer hand drawing them tho

My fingers hurt from too much typing so I'll simply suggest you look below for other threads concerning PCB etching and PCB "problems".  All the tips can be found in there.
