How do I keep my sketches from smearing?
I have a sketchbook that I use for drawing on the go, and I’ve tried using many various types and brands, but I run into the same problem: When I close the book, the image gets quickly smeared into the back of the paper preceding it. It’s the worst when I have any kind of hatch marks, of course, but the more detailed I make a sketch, usually the more distorted it will become.
Now I’m not trying to preserve these drawings per se, but it makes it difficult to work with if I try to use the sketches as a reference. I’m not really interested in buying another sketchbook, but does anyone know any way to deal with this? Perhaps I should use a different pencil (I’m using a 2h mechanical) or find some way to remove excess graphite?
