Drawing & Illustration

I have a sketchbook that I use for drawing on the go, and I've tried using many various types and brands, but I run into the same problem: When I close the book, the image gets quickly smeared into the back of the paper preceding it. It's the worst when I have any kind of hatch marks, of course, but the more detailed I make a sketch, usually the more distorted it will become.

Now I'm not trying to preserve these drawings per se, but it makes it difficult to work with if I try to use the sketches as a reference. I'm not really interested in buying another sketchbook, but does anyone know any way to deal with this? Perhaps I should use a different pencil (I'm using a 2h mechanical) or find some way to remove excess graphite?

I am doing a math project on circles. I need to draw a picture that has eveything circles. For example, my friend drew a picture that has a dinner table, with plates, hamburgers, cups, oranges, etc. It's all circles. Anyone have an idea or a place to goto for ideas? Thank you!

is it against copyright laws if I take a black circle and put "abc" in it as a different font? or can ABC Television sue me? If so, what can I do to get the point across that this logo was meant for abc television?

I'm working on a project in art and it has a kinda starfish theme going on. I already have some coral, seaweed, and wave lines in it, and I need something to put in the middle. So does anyone have any ideas of what to use?
Note: it has to be symmetrical!

I'm getting a tattoo of a pinup but I'm asian and thereby want an asian broad. I've been looking through hoards and hoards of pinup art but i haven't spotted a single asian. It doesn't necessarily have to be by alberto vargas, but just similar in styling. Assistance anyone? And links would be great...

I need to draw or put together a space shuttle that looks like it's blasting off. I can hang it from the ceiling, or tape it on the wall. The shuttle itself can be around 4 ft high, but I want to use something crafty that makes is look like it's blasting off, like cotton, or batting, or something like that, to make a more 3D effect. We're taping stars to what will be the "space" area the shuttle is heading to, and taping the kids pictures in the stars. We want to put the teacher's picture in a shuttle window to make it look like she's flying it! I just thought there might be a crafty person with a cool idea to help me! It'll be displayed in the hallway. The kids are about 9 years old, but the display is set up for everyone to enjoy.
