Hi there, I'm new to this forum and using forums in general. I have started to art again and am just looking for tips and ideas. I'll post up some works to see what you guys think and where you can help me.

At the moment I use Pencil, Charcoal and pastel pencil but need to find a way to "clean up" the finished product...think I'm an messy artist.

Welcome Donna!

Most crisp-lined artwork you see has undergone painstaking erasure/reworking; in other cases numerous sketches are done to provide guidance and reference for an artist's final piece; still other cases, some messy pencil may be so consequently layered over with pen, markers, paint, etc. that the messy pencil/charvoal groundwork gets obscured...hardly any artist instantaneously, unerringly sets a their art instrument down and produces a flawless masterpiece.
