Hi, again! ^-^
I wonder if this makes you smile ;P I followed him all the way through :giggle: He has a point! :D




Many thanks to everyone jumping to help me with my graphite problem!
 :iconflyingheartsplz:
 We all start somewhere and tend to focus on certain things, maybe not following a straight line while learning.
 I might show up in the future with other super easy to solve problems :giggle:, after hitting my head to the wall long enough to come over here and ask for help from more experienced art lovers^^

I really appreciate your support forum.deviantart.com/art/gener…,
and this is what I learned:

:heart:
using gloves does not help
:heart:
one can use a tool to support oneself - either the artist's bridge (leaning bridge) or the mahl stick
:heart: 
to keep the surface inclined when ever possible
:heart:
 larger sizes of the canvas bring in much more challenges than the smaller ones, not only a larger volume of work
:heart: 
one cannot really remove the spots already made, they are sensitive
:heart: 
thus, avoid at all cost NEVER to touch the paper with naked hands, not even to take it out of the pack.
:heart: 
thee is such an awesome feeling to have so many jumping in with an advice - I love this place! Aww And it feels good to know others went through the same problemsWink/Razz
:heart:
