Tissues or soft paper towels normally work well. Fingers can, but the oils in your skinmay ruin your pic.

Me too ^ ^ but sometimes I'll use my finger for a little bit, or even lightly tap at the picture with my eraser. (Well, I guess the eraser can help make highlights? 6 6)

I only use the eraser when I have to. I never use my fingers though. I don't like smeary pictures if they're mine. >.<;;;

I don't like smeary-ness where it's not meant to be smeared >.<"
but I don't use the eraser for shading that much either ^ ^
(Just when I'm too lazy to concentrate on making light shades ^ ^")

...Falling is easy, it's ~getting~
back up that becomes
the 'problem'...


I hardly ever smudge. But I know my sister uses a tissue to smudge.


...If you don't *believe* you can
FIND a way out, you ||become||
the problem...
