The paper is that you are using is probably the problem. To get smoothness i suggest you use bristol smooth paper. I use canson bristol smooth, but you can try different ones to test them out. You can ask at your local art store that you are looking for bristol smooth drawing pads and they should help you out. Something that you can try is first lay down a layer of pencil using your shading stump. Over this layer you add the dark pencil and the white dots shouldn't be so significant. You can also layer the graphite. Add pencil, blend it, add more pencil, layer it and so on, until you are happy with the results. This method might take a while but the results are great. But i first suggest for you to get that kind of paper if you are looking for smoothness. Like i said, try different papers to see what works well. Well take care and that horse looks awesome.

Hi again.
I have a not related to this tutorial question,
When I draw a background for example all black background I use the progresso pencil, but the problem is that there are many white dots left after it. I tried blending it, but nothing, this is really what you used to make the nose texture but it becomes a problem for me :S. Maybe because I'm using a printer paper I didn't try in another one.
Do you know how can I get rid of those white dots?
Thanks.
