Yes, I do sometimes have trouble going dark. I'm usually just afraid to go dark, because I'm afraid I'll go too dark and I wont be able to get it light again. Of course it could also be because I only use one type of pencil. Oh, I've used pencil sets before, but I guess I'm too lazy to keep switching.
Yes, the scans never look as good (or as dark) as the original. I'm not sure what happened to this scan, really, because when I look at it, it doesnt look as sharp as it usually does. First time thats happened. Usually its so sharp I can see every pencil line.

When the work is done, and I do mean completely done, take it outside along with the spray fixative. DO NOT use spray fixative inside. Ever! Once you spray a piece with fixative, no more changes. You should have a board larger than the art that you can use low-tack tape (sticky enough to hold temporarily, not enough to pull the art apart when you remove it) to tape the back of the artwork to the board. Ensuring the area is well ventilated, take the spray can and shake it up, then point the nozzle above and to the left of the art. You want to get the flow from the can smoothed out before you point it at your work. Sometimes if a can is new or has not been used in awhile it can spit when you first press the nozzle. Now, like I said, starting above and left of the art, start spraying. At the same time, assuming no spitting or other can malfunction, move your hand in a steady sweeping motion from left to right, holding the nozzle down in the same place. Do not stop moving until you have evenly coated the art top to bottom. any pause or stop will cause more fixative in one place than the rest, and it will be noticeable. Once finished, allow at least fifteeen minutes for the fixative to dry, but I recommend an hour. The matte fixative below will significantly reduce the glare from the lead on the paper. Scanners use reflected light to gather the image, and lead is very reflective. This also prevents smearing from subsequent handling.
You can also set your scanner to increase the contrast of the initial scan.
Lots of links to Dick Blick Art here. No, I do not work for them. They are however the Amazon of art supplies. I have not found cheaper!

Sketch Board - Get the big one and use it only for applying fixative. It will get "gunky" pretty quick.

I never thought about using fixative on a graphite drawing. I've only ever done that the few times I've used charcoal. But it does make sense cuz the pencil still rubs off.
Thanks for the tips! Something to think about
