Pencil drawing technique question
In reading through some threads on this forum, it seems that "smudging" (intentionally) is considered taboo. Is this the case? I haven't had anything that would be considered formal training, so I'm pretty much self-taught, and I smudge like crazy. I've sold some pencil portraits doing this and I like the result I get. I'm curious what the consensus is and the thoughts behind it.
