There really needs to be tips on how to not smudge the paper for left handers. I'm even wearing a "smudge guard" glove but still have difficulties. Any critiques welcome!

Happily shading :) what a nice simple exercise! I feel like I have to practice more, but the second try already looks better :) I found it much more difficult to shade using the harder pencils (3H, 2H, H) than the softer ones (B, 2B etc.). Maybe it's kind of logical, but I wondered whether anyone else experienced these differences.

First post and first ever real drawing! I did this while hungry so looking a the pear for so long wasn't the best haaha. this is also before the demo video. Any tips tricks and critiques welcome!
