Only thing I can think to add is to use the edge of your pencil instead of the tip for more of a gradual shading effect and then use the smudge stick on that. Those sticks are just paper rolled up really tight. You can get 'em at any art store. They aren't very expensive.

Also, do simple objects first until you feel you have the hang of it. Try doing a single sphere or cone. Something like that.

And if none of this helps....blame it on the fact that I'm not any good at it either. I just know how its SUPPOSED to work.
