Using a lot of counter pressure on your parting tool will reduce those overshot lines, too. Use the index and third finger of your left hand if you're a righty. Also, if you want to, use a ball-tip Dremel engraving bit and carefully pre-groove your sketch lines ahead of time. Acts like a track for your chisel...almost never-fail neat lines. Although I slip constantly when I'm in a hurry! That's what they make sandpaper for :)
