Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

to obtain a dirty sketch while drawing, is just inevitable!.

that's why it was a called a "sketch" to begin with!.

no matter how dirty your sketch might be,

as long as the pencil stroke you used is not too hard!.!.

(meaning, the way you write in the paper is not that heavy)

that would be great!.

well, it depends on the eye of the one who drew it anyway!.

as long as you can still clearly see the picture you were trying to depict, then there's absolutely no problem!.

just don't mess with it while in the inking process!.

because if you do, that would really matter!.

good luck!. =)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Depends on what medium you are using charcoal,pencil,graphite!.
1Just try drawing with using an eraser, see how this goes !?

2 Buy a lot of fools cap paper and practice on this first if it smudges dont worry !?finish the picture you want and transfer this onto good quality paper later

3 Buy some sealant sprayers ( at art shop) that seal the pencil marks,as you draw this ensures clean image on paperWww@QuestionHome@Com

I think dirty sketches look good
but
you can put a perice of paper under your hand to stop rubbing

use a fixative, cheap hair spray works

use a harder pencil (they smudge less)

get a putty rubber, they are easy to mold into shape and so can easily rub out the tricky bits :)

You could try using a mahl stick to lean on and a lighter pencilWww@QuestionHome@Com
