Well, I was in Yellowstone last month and they had "paper" made out of bison dung. Maybe you can use that.
Your problem sounds like you either a) press too hard on the paper so it leaves marks on it or grooves or b) the pencil is too soft and it smudges too much. The solution to b is to get a harder graded pencil. Regular pencils are HB which are neither too hard or too soft. If you can get your hands on some pencils that are H-graded, then you may solve your problem. The higher the number, the harder the pencil lead.
@ramiel the book u gave me was in japanese or something XD
@rio what HB pencil would u recommend for sketching..?
Personally, I like the regular #2 (HB) pencil but going one way or the other has it's perks. For example, softer pencils (B pencils) can create nice shading if you're doing pencil work. H pencils, on the other hand, are less likely to leave smudges since they're harder (but they tend to leave grooves on the paper). Which on do you prefer? If you like smudging your work, then use B. If you prefer cleaner work, use H pencils. Depending on the result I'm going for, I may use one over the other otherwise regular pencils are right in the middle for general doodles and sketching.
i usually use a 0.5 lead pencil but i really dont like it..n i use it to shade sometimes but i dont really like the way it comes out either lol..i like clean work n i also like to shade but idk i cant do it right or i just need to get better at shadig >.<
i gave you two books...
the other one is japanese so you asked if there is an english...
so i gave you another... do you remember now?
@ Rio
it's actually A lol... I have that problem of gripping the pen so tight and so strong to crush the paper... specially when i know that I'm not doing the drawing right... It's like me and my pencil against the paper a battle of life and death

lol Yeah, I used to draw like that as well. You'll have to learn how to loosen up. It's hard at first but with a little practice you'll save yourself the trouble of ripping through paper (yeah, I've done that! xD).
