So I'm curious, how do people here hold a pencil when drawing? I use this method, which I assume is probably the most common:  Though I didn't draw it very precisely. |

I grab the pencil with 3 fingers and the thumb, the same way as your but 2 more fingers around it and closer to the the tip, like surrounding the whole pencil, then the pinky one on the paper. I had draw like that since I can remember. People sometimes laugh at me when they are watching while I'm working,  'cause it looks so funny.  Anyway, I think we all have a unique way to draw, after all is the result that counts. |

Here's my way:

Ha, that's genius! why didn't I think of taking a picture? I guess I just felt like drawing something at the time. Here's a more accurate representation:  |

Ok this is how I do it, sorry about the quality, my dad took the camera with him so I had to use the webcam.

The Scots (originally Irish, but by now Scotch) were at this time inhabiting Ireland, having driven the Irish (Picts) out of Scotland; while the Picts (originally Scots) were now Irish (living in brackets) and vice versa. It is essential to keep these distinctions clearly in mind (and verce visa).

For horizontal and curved lines - same as Binky's pic. For verticals and diagonals, I use a different method (see my craptacular sketch!) It's quite fatiguing, but gives a good line  Orange Box |

See, for lines in different directions, I'll usually just rotate the paper. That's one of the reasons why Wacoms aren't for me. Nice sketch there btw.

I see i hold the pencil in a very werid way if compared to you guys, and i never thought about that "double handling" that Orange Go.. i mean, Box showed there. Maybe it's why i have to put my wrist under running cold water after a hour or two of intense drawing?
I should try and change my posture.

Yeah, posture certainly helps. That's the only problem I've found with a wacom, I can't sit properly. You can't really put it on a drawing table. At the moment I've got it to one side of the keyboard, which really screws up my arm if I stay at it too long. I should move it more to the middle.
