traditionally I've always worked with ink pen and brush and then the smudges were like accidental curses that I had to cope with when they did happen. I've been out of practice with normal graphite so it's like I'm re-learning how to trust the medium,

LOL. When I was in school I was anal retentive about it. I used to work with a crow quill and magnifier and that was it. Then I started painting and drawing more comic/anime style and I think I've managed to loose some of the precision I used to have. It's annoying because now it takes me forever to do an drawing it used to take me an hour or two to complete.
