Very nice! How do you keep the graphite from smudging?

That's always a problem. I'm left-handed, so I'll try, when possible, to work from right to left so I don't touch the more finisheded parts too much.

But also...these finished graphite illustrations look so clean because we allways make a photoshop path for later use in Indesign. To show the drawings here at Deviant, I just turn the path into a selection and delete the surrounding background (heheh!)
