TBH.. a few IRL scuffs might make them look better..
acrylic on canvas is going to stick by itself pretty well.

got a pair you can experiment with?
I'll bet it's harder than you think to scuff.
I use a workable fixative first whenever I'm going over artwork. Just spray on 10-15 min before coating.. no smudges.
Some studies with pen. Not so much sketching.
IME if you are generating a lot of smudges, the most likely cause is your hand rubbing against the paper. The most low-tech solution for this is to prepare another piece of paper that functions simply as a hand guard.
Personally I prefer to simply hold my drawing hand such that I don't need to worry about smudging (ie. consistently hover a tiny distance above the paper), and use the guard only for the other hand.
The only other likely cause of smudging I know of is using paper that is too smooth.
You might also want to look into spray-on fixative (example). That's good to have when you finish a drawing, but can be applied at any time.
