Re: Pencil drawing technique question
Matt:
I guess I am not completely sure about what you mean by "smudging". Can you explain more?
I do a lot of charcoal portraiture. I "smudge" - in my definiton - laying some charcoal down and spreading it out with a brush, my finger, a stump, etc.
I would not worry too much about what others think about this technique or another. In my opinion, any technique that helps you to nail your likeness and gives a pleasant look is worth making your own decision about.
