I'd just like to share a little tip with you today, dealing with... ohhh... clean drawing... Yesterday I decided to dedicate much of the day to working on a piece I'd started the other day con muchas ganas! (See hereLovely, lovely, great, great, great! Everything's going juuuuust dandy! Super enjoying myself as always - maybe even a little toooo muuuuch.... ;) 

So I put the drawing aside to take a break..............(See: here
When I looked back at the drawing there was a big black dot resting on the paper. I said, "Oh my god? What is that?" 

Now, see, usually I have it clear. And here's the tip:

***Always, always, always take care of unwanted dust or ash, or other kinds of little things by BLOWING them off the page!!!! Never use your hand or finger to WIPE them off the page.... they could be made of something nice and juicy, and leave a happy brown trail behind.
If it won't come off by blowing on it, and it's something like marker felt residue (usually caused by colouring something in), still don't wipe try to wipe it off the page... simply dab your index finger DIRECTLY vertically over it. It'll stick onto your finger and you'll be able to lift it up off the page without creating any smears. Or use tweezers. Good.*

Ah! But even if this DOES happen, and you DO get a smear across your page, never worry - where there's a problem, there is always a solution.*

So let's see how we fix this one....
