Commission for 
And a question for you all!
Since I feel I am actually really getting into these traditional sketches, I noticed one thing I have a hard time on.
Skin. I want the skin to be smoother, not liney.
Do any of you know of any good pencils that would work well for the smooth appearance of skin?
I also have critiques open because I feel there's something wrong with the arms (or atleast the folded one)
And the legs/feet look strange to me...I wanted some input on them, and perhaps anything else that looks strange or disproportionate.

Overall Vision Originality Technique ImpactThe secret might actually be the paper. Try working on Plate Bristol paper. It's very hard and smooth. Also try using Wolf's carbon pencils. You might have to order them online if an art store near you doesn't carry them. Compressed charcoal also has a very liquid feel to it and on plate bristol paper it looks like it's flowing.
The artist Albrecht Durer had a trick he used. Where the arm had a hard edge, He would use a very thin line with no shading. Where it was very wounded, he used a thicker line with soft edges. This implied the volume without shading and made the skin look like porcelain.I hope you have a library of art books. Go to the book store (Barnes and Noble works for me, and take a seat and study the drawings that achieve the effect you are looking for. Get a magnifying glass to examine them more closely and more clinically. That helped me a lot. Good luck,
