Your so right

Lol i was like, f*** that

Matteo Prayer - Art its been 1 year already

Very helpful.... Thanks....

Matteo Prayer - Art I heard that and thought haha funny then realised he was being serious 😑

I cried(inside) when he said that

@Dream ! I bought a new one.

i imagined someone absolutely swiping everything off their desk LOL

@@dutch_asocialite I can't stop smile. Your 2nd comment crack me XD

your name scares me

@@vythe1029 ​Good. The fear makes your toes taste better.

Hahahahahahahahha 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

😂😂

Strokes are basically the "artistic" way of people who can't draw curvy lines or circles

@@youneskasdi what?

"Stay tuned to find out how you can change your life",that cracked me up

😂😂 the comment section always gets me man 😂

I felt seen ngl

Unless of course, you are doing Life Drawing :D

MrEtmer​ haha yep.

CS my favorite company​ Nah, I'd rather stick to puppies and kittens.

Dove from Above I bet you did.

Dove from Above Then you can draw naked pornstars.

will if this gonna work I will do it even in 5 years but no one still can't get what do he wanna says

Mick mick... Wat?

Though, at least for me, has really worked. I have been doing it for almost an year and it seriously helps a lot. I went from not knowing how to draw a simple line, to have a control that I am very proud of today.

JezzeBoy

Its true tbh

do you watch One piece

still not in claz :D

So, you are a man of culture. 😎

Andy Oakley I think that if you wanted to see your drawing you just needed to start it from the right.... left-hand doesn't make a difference haha

Tbh being left handed doesn't change what you see... Just draw from right to left The only problem is writing lol, I get smudges along my hand every time I pick up a pen

@@RhinoHand as another left handed person I can say drawing from right to left is far more difficult than it sounds

@@levinussmeier7389 Honestly, when I draw, I'm all over the place so I'm not sure about that lol

Even l am an left handed

That's such a neat way to think about it! Great comparison!

Wow😃 what an interesting comparison

the same with violin and guitar :v

Where did he say that?

+seederism you're welcome!

+Proko Do we need an overhand grip to use the shoulder? Or is it ok to use the tripod grip with shoulder movement? Thanks!

+Proko I have the same question as Jose Zambrano's. Also, whenever I try to do shoulder movements, my shoulder quickly becomes tense. Is it normal (as usually experienced by people who exercise after too long of not doing any), or am I making a mistake? Would really appreciate it if you could explain further about this.

You need a large surface area, try 18x24 inches, and tape your drawing down to the board if you are using a3 (small paper). Many people are confined by the page borders when starting out. It may be easier to use butcher paper or cardboard boxes to test on, as you can have lots of space. Also, elevating the surface helps a lot.. hold your surface at an angle by resting it against the edge of a table, or your knee.

Fria Gram​ I used a large desk and A5 copier paper as I've been drawing lines and basic shapes. The desk's surface is horizontal flat, and I put my hand and arm on it, like when I'm writing. My hand moved in a pretty limited manner, pretty much fixed to my wrist, and whenever I tried to use only fingers/elbow/shoulder to move the pencil, I had to lift my arm off the desk, my muscles became tense, similar to what planking does to my abs. So that's why, hahahaha... OMG I'm so noob. Thank you! Now off to the store to get a drawing pad!

doneyes wow

The problem is that I also play with my wrists and aim with small hand movements, I know I should use the whole arm but I can't, so my 700 hours of play are useless :c

I felt that

Youre all so funny *cries with left handed

@@arcallium yeah, same. ;-;

That pencil is nice tho.

Hahahaha right?

Hannibal Lecter you are right ahah

Hey Kelly. It's been almost 6 years since your comment. Can we get an update about how your practice went?

Ian S yesssss this is my little trick too - to keep my wrist steady and use the shoulder

Is that All you use the corn starch for?

Please subscribe my channel kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m5iClM-Zm7bPaWw.html

Same. I think Im REALLY not made for drawing.

Yeah I have ADHD and ODD and Anxiety. My hands shake constantly. Drawing is so damn hard

@@eligarrett4213 wow, are you trying to some competition with all those self-diagnosed mental illnesses?

@@thegiantratthatmakesalloft9415 not self diagnosed like the 14 year old girls lol. Just explaining why it's hard for some people to draw straight lines.

+Sonto Sontoloyo not wasted, you just gotta change form. Mechanical ability is still there

That's gonna take more time And I don't think art is my carreer

Ya I know it's just a hobby, but when people are around and see how well you draw then they think you're cool. ;)

many don't appreciate art tho when tehy see you draw better than average they started to flock around asking free comissions

lmao I meant in real life, not for money just to draw for kids or something

Mike A Thank you!

+Proko thanks men

It applies to both traditional and digital. You'll carry the traditional concepts to your digital medium. Hope I made sense and helped. ;)

For anyone reading this comment 4 years later, wondering the same thing. Put away your tablet, and use paper/pencil. Otherwise, you'll stupidly think that a tablet can make you a better artist, when in reality, you'll be wondering and asking yourself the same stupid question as above.

@@Adrian-wd4rn Telling someone who works in a digital medium to not use a digital tool seems silly. The question isn't about whether a tablet will make you better, its about whether the same skills are applicable, which for a variety of reasons is a reasonable thing to ask. First, if you are using a smaller tablet then your range of motion is limited and the benefits of training your whole arm are less. Though, should you decide to use a larger tablet then you may regret not training that shoulder. That said, long, confident lines are the result of actively practicing lines which can be done both physically and digitally. Second, tablets inherently handle line weight differently from physical media. Not all styli support tilt or rotation which is half the technique in the video, and you can program pressure to affect more line variables than just weighting. Your comment is kind of like telling someone to put away their watercolors and use oils instead. There are many things similar between the media, but there are enough differences to make it worthwhile to understand which things are medium specific.

@@d3v1lsummoner Yeah, great points, however, digital art supports many bad habits, such as undo. Traditional media also takes far more patience which teaches you many valuable things. I stand by my statement.

@@Adrian-wd4rn This is a fair statement that has absolutely nothing to do with the original question. For anyone reading this comment 4 years later, here is what you need to know: In digital media, using your whole arm to draw still applies, resulting in much smoother curves. Keeping your fingers loose also applies, adding more energy and flow to your lines. However, the overhand grip DOESN'T apply. The tablet pen is not as versatile as a physical pencil, it only reads the pressure vertically, so you're actually better off holding it as vertical as you can. Not to mention that screen tablets have parallax effect so you'd have to recalibrate it from scratch every time you switch grips. There are tablets that can read the angle of the pen, which with the right software can result in somewhat caligraphic-ish feel, but probably still not precise enough to warrant the overhand grip.

BAM!

Proko I have made pencils so many different sizes, and held the pencil every which way, however, not the overhand. I have some questions?... 1 Do you use this grip for drawing on the tip of the pencil? or do you turn your wrist as the video shows? 2 Will I be able to make straight lines in a precise way? as this grip seems to hinder steady lines especially my vertical lines? 3 do you maintain this grip through out the whole drawing? can you explain your yes and no answer? 4 last question, lol, do you keep your pinky finger and ring finger touching the paper when you draw? I find it a challenge to not make my lines look shaky when only my pencil is touching the paper. ooops, one more question, I lied lol...What vid should I buy first? I am a complete beginner. I am really obsessed in finding out how to hold the pencil..I use to play baseball and I did the same thing in finding my perfect batters swing. Once you find it, its automatic and natural. I will look in the meantime at your store. I have subscribed...thanks for these vids!

OH MY GOD THIS HAS BEEN MY ENTIRE SCHOOL LIFE

Because it's not

Great advice. Maybe not from a professor?

@ZeR0's BuLLeT Do you know what a boomer is?

All of the fact checkers that put hours into making sure that they have the correct information: ..... -_-

+john linstin you CAN use your shoulder with the tripod grip. If you're using a tool that only has a tip, such as a digital stylus, you should use your shoulder with the tripod grip. But if you're using a charcoal pencil or paintbrush, overhand grip allows you to use the side of the pencil or brush.

Exactly what i was going to ask about half way through this video. Thx!

Gripping your stylus vs gripping a pen is fundamentally different in the sense that the scale of your drawing surface can be varied when drawing digitally. If you are to make a long swooping stroke on the tablet, you can zoom out and still get a flow with much less movement than if you draw on paper. I've noticed that practicing old school calligraphy and using the elbow while drawing larger shapes helps a lot with the stylus grip and digital drawing. But I have yet to feel the need of working from the shoulder when painting digitally. Though I have not been working regularly on surfaces larger than A4 size.

Beware though, Digital drawing tablets have tilt sensitivity, so tilting the pen is still desireable, then the overhand grip applies for drawing tablets as well I presume (?)

Your incredibly logical approach to everything you do always amazes me.

Yes

Any update ?

Andrew Garfield relearning to draw on big scale by using your elbow is way more effective. It also works for smaller scale. However, using your wrist can be useful on occasion. Thanks Spidey

Gramarson95 so did you switch to shoulder drawing now?
