The Elder Scrolls Skyrim: Easy Guide to Upgrading the Smithing Skill
This is a quick run down on how I've built up my Smithing Skill. Nice part is you don't have to go out of your way to do this... it's just really a pit stop to make after a journey. Just be sure to kill animals along the way and take their pelts to make leather. Then use the leather on furs or leather armor upgrades and Wala!
