Update: Thanks everyone for the DD. I've uploaded a higher contrast image, so you may see the text better. : )
Dedicated to my the watchers, who seem to enjoy my pencil work.  ----- This tutorial covers the materials, process, and mistakes of the penciling process, and there is even a short step by step demonstration showing how I do my pencil drawings. Although the example is anime, this can really be used for all styles and the methods and steps taken carry outside of the genre. I worked quite hard on this, so I hope you all enjoy it. This tutorial IS reading intense, but it's worth it--I promise. Feel free to ask me a question by sending me a note. And, please do tell me if this tutorial helps you any as it encourages me to make more and it simply makes me happy. ----- How do I prevent smudging after I am done drawing? All you have to do is go down your local arts and crafts store and purchase some fixative. It's like a spray that you can use on your drawings to prevent smudging. Make sure you step back away from your drawing when you spray and if you are sensative to sprays or odors, use it outside. Also, you make sure you purchase a 'workable' fixative' so that you can still come back and edit easily. You can also use hair spray as a cheap substitute^^ Don't grab the adhesive spray by mistake!! They are usually placed right next to each other in similar cans. ----- The Lineart Tutorial ---> [link] Make your own Tortillon ---> [link] Tutorial by my buddy, ~leinef ---> [link] Daily DeviationGiven 2009-06-09KikaiSaigono said "The Penciling Tutorial by ~sashas This is a GREAT tutorial on how to do pencil shading for not only cartoons/anime, but also for realism. The artist gives an in depth look at line and shading procedures, and how to make your shading as smooth and precise as possible. This is a must for anyone who is wanting to spice up their pencil work a little!" (Suggested by *KikaiSaigono and Featured by ^Hanratty-Stock) |

Proud Supporter of the Falcon PAWNCH!
My problem with pencil art is that I tend to go heavy while sketching. This makes rather unsightly marks when I make mistakes. I'll remember to go light.. ^_^ Thanks for making this tutorial!
PS. Do you know how to store pencil art without it smudging over time? Mine always get rather blurry after a few months or so...

Well, if you tend to draw heavily, invest in a harder pencil like 4H, and these will be great for initial sketches and putting in details. Then, as you want to get harder you can move up to softer pencils. The pencil shade make a big difference.
Good question. Pencil drawings to tend to smudge. All you have to do is go down your local arts and crafts store and purchase some fixative. It's like a spray that you can use on your drawings to prevent smudging. Make sure you step back away from your drawing when you spray and if you are sensative to sprays or odors, use it outside. Also, you make sure you purchase a 'workable' fixative so that you can still come back and edit
