Should I spray my graphite drawing with fixative before shipping it or should I advise my customer to spray it when it arrives? I'm about to finish up a graphite drawing I was commissioned to draw and my customer doesn't live close enough to give them the drawing in person. So, I need to roll it up and ship it to them. Will rolling a drawing that has been sprayed with a fixative cause any problems?
There is no reason to assume it will cause problems as long as the fixative has had sufficient drying time (as indicated on the can or bottle).
You will likely face more problems without fixating it, as the graphite will smudge, especially with the drawing rolled up.
