Aug 21, 2019 at 9:23 comment added Joachim Sure, it seems like a standard quality sketching paper. And I follow that smoother paper might increase smudging, but that depends on technique. And, yes, the question focuses on smudging, but the underlying reason seems to be that the finer lines "blend" into adjacent colours. My answer is merely an addition to the other answers, as it focuses on a different aspect, and is obviously not exhaustive.
Aug 20, 2019 at 20:53 comment added rebusB I would not consider that paper very coarse at all. Looks like standard quality drawing paper. A paper that is more plate (smoother) will actually smudge more, not less, since there will be less friction between the pigment and the paper. I hear what you a saying about thin lines, like on drafting paper, but it is the smudging that is an issue, not line weight.
Aug 20, 2019 at 20:48 comment added Joachim Yes, but it is quite coarse. For thinner, more defined lines, finer paper could help.
