Trifle-Doc in the post "When you want your drawings to actually look good, do you still draw the construction lines like spheres, cylinders etc or do you you just imagine them in your mind and draw without them so the drawing looks cleaner?"

for me personally, it depends.

sometimes I feel like using construction lines, sometimes I dont.

if I want it to look clean and I want to use construction lines then I would make my main medium not be pencil. I might start it with pencil and then go over it in pen, or painting, or chalk pastel, or whatever have you, and then erase the pencil. (ive never used a pencil and chalk pastel on the same piece before but ig you could)
