It's pretty tough knowing I'm limited to only .05 mechanical pencils and good ol' no. 2 wooden ones. But beside that, I have a problem with dragging my hand across the drawings ending up with a very black side of my hand. I am also a lefty, if that counts for anything. I've always had problems with too much pressure on the paper, and can't really find a way to consciously fix that as I'm drawing.

Nope I wasn't using any guidelines of any sort. Just trying to draw what I was looking at. Thank you for the link though
