Guys. I have a serious problem. Every time I write on paper/ink my drawings, I smudge up the entire page with ink, AND get a a ton of marks on my hand. Now I know why this happens, and it's probably because I'm left handed, I just don't know how to avoid it. Is there any way to avoid it, or am I just doomed?

turn your notebook a different way or try another hand position it happens to me to lol

Lefty's do have that sort of problem a lot. My friend, Sadie, is a lefty and gets a ton of ink on her hand. You must be dragging your hand on the paper.

That's the thing though, every time I try to position my hand a different way, my hand is no longer steady and I end up drawing everywhere and messing it up. XD

I have an idea, try putting scotch tape on the side of your hand. It wont smudge. xD
