Clean? Wow thanks.
For that one it was simply taking my time when layering the pencil (many layers in that one) and ensuring I always had a clean sheet of paper under my hand when drawing. Its a habit that is hard to get into if you dont practice but it works wonders if you do.


For some really amazing work I suggest, if you are not aware of them already, looking at the work of Armin ( [link] ) or Andy Brase for his pencil and ink ( [link] ) such as his WIP [link] and finished [link]
Both are artists that astound me with their attention to detail and ability in their chosen fields.

You did well! I envy you. Everytime I sketch on paper I end up with a thousand ugly strokes and pencil-etchings that never go away.

Thanks, it just takes practice and awareness of what worked for you.
I am the same with digital art - I dont practice, critique and try again enough to be as good as you are at it.
One of my art tutors said its the thousand drawings that came before that people dont see that really count.

You just made me realize that I should take notes on what worked and not! And really sketch more often. Thank you!
