you really need to learn shading withput smudging
a well shaded piece looks so much better
Thats not art thoug, its more like Seb does basic drawing
As far as I know theres not much I can do in terms of pencil shading.
It either looks like scratchy pencil, or can be smoothed out with smudging.
You can def shade without smudging if you're using good pencils
All I can really afford to use is writing pencils I found laying about.
It's okay. But try to get good sketching pencils when you can
Generally end up using the wacom when I have a large allotment of time to do shading and such.
I can guarantee you it makes things much better

Thas a really lazy excuse
go buy a set of engineering pencils from T4 to M4
I have 8 dollars to my name right now :/

Are you alive?
Get job or ask parents
I have a job, then bills 😄
a pencil set costs what? 2 bucks?
It depends tbh
There are definitely cheap pencil sets out there
Man I used to buy engineering sets of 10 pencils of different hardness for 1-1.5 usd
Engineers write weird
you could have gotten exactly the same a few times cheaper
Well there is a difference in engineering pencils and sketching pencils
The letters are wider instead of longer
Idk why
wood and graphite
the only difference is marketing
I suppose if I can track down what stores in Canada sell engineering pencils I'll see about obtaining some.
4b is such a babe
I mean you probably have something like a 2H?
Nd 2b hehehehe
I think it is 2h the normal school pencils
they're sturdy but they're made for sharp and high contrast letters
Tbh I'd rather draw with mechanical pencils than school pencils
something like a B or 2/3B with minimal pressure would do wonders for shading
^^
you can also get different graphite grades for mechanical pensilc, but shading will be a bitch
