at a guess from this image, it seems it is the paper contributing to that unsmooth texture.

It might look cool w/some beads. Hee: but I LOVE collaging and 3d art, so don't mind me.

Aurora would LOVE this; I'll have to remember to show her.

If you want it really smooth can you use a glossy sealant or a tool - would those "stamp air heaters" they use to melt metallic powders onto stamp art melt these crayon paints further?

Aurora likes the kinds that she dips in water & then colors with - but I've also tried these that you color first then "melt" - I think the first kind gets a smoother "sketchless" look to it, since the medium has melted pre-application.

Have fun trying out options! This work looks very nice, I think, even with the texture to it. But, I love sketch art & textured art. I think that's one thing that draws me to oil paints (but, when I tried them the smell drove me insane, and they took soooo many days for each layer to dry: wow.) I've considered trying plaster or clay but haven't figured a way to do that. I might try oils again, if I ever get access to a rentable space/like a community arts center: I used that a lot when I lived near one that was affordable.
