I'm finally starting my art class for the semester, and this video is super helpful! I feel like I always put way to much pressure on my wrists, and I lack the results. Now, I have some new tools to try! And it always helps to know that people don't get it right away. It takes time and practice. And it's a journey! There is no big end goal, and the key is to learn new things while making what you love. I almost always need the reminder. Thanks for sharing!

Why'd I have to be born a left handed person? As an artist who uses dip pens it was pure torture, but in contrast the more I messed up it gave me more of an opportunity to practice and see what I was doing wrong and changing the way I hold my pencil/nib holder while also getting more practice actually drawing characters and landscapes that I was messing up lol.

Been practicing overhand grip for few months now, and I see vast difference in my drawing strokes, at first it'd feel so uncomfortable to hold the pencil like that-
And your way of explaining things is best --

I think some people just have a lot better hand/eye coordination than others lol even handwriting for me is too challenging and writing is still drawing the letters too.

Sooooooo do you have any holding tips but like, for digital art? cuz holding the digital pencil like that is pretty hard since they're thicker.

tbh I just started drawing and I find this video amazing. I had no idea the way I hold my pencil could change the way my drawing came out sm

I-ve been practicing, but I feel like I-m using my elbow instead of my shoulder. I-ve been working on small squares and triangles.

I was practicing with the tripod grip but using my shoulder. Overhand grip definitely makes it easier to control the pressure.
