how to hold your drawing pencil

[@MrAlvinDraper]

So many teachers denigrate the little things like basic mark making and the physicality of application. I can't count how many have told me to just "do it how you do it". And yet a bit of observation of any of the artists I admire reveals a great deal of commonality. Thanks starting at the beginning.

@russocollection Thanks for the kind words. There are longer videos at the BarnstoneMethod website. Check it out and let me know what you think.

It took a little bit, but I manage to cling on what he was saying. I had a little trouble with what horizontal and vertical means, but now I figure it out.

I love the clarity and how direct you communicate . You can tell you really care about developing your students. Great tutor 😊 , only just discovered this channel. Big fan!!

[@BarnstoneStudios]

Thanks for your interest... Great News! 30 hours of training video on DVD is coming in the next few weeks. We will also be providing a membership site with full 24/7/365 video access to all the Drawing lectures and resources. Along with that Myron just sent the first part of his book off to the publishers. Go to the barnstonestudio [com] website - sign up for the podcast or email list so you will know when the DVDs and book are available.

Thank you. These videos are really helpful and interesting. As a real novice I would have liked the teacher to slow down. Still very helpful I learnt a lot and would recommend this series of videos.

WOW! I've written and drawn with this method I was able to hold a pencil ( like 2-3 years old ).... I'm ten. So, I guess I was born to draw!

[@merlinmiller123]

You must be 20 now omg

[@YumiEvo]

There is no proper way to hold a pencil when drawing....I've seen people holding pencils differently, creating great works of art....I myself have tried multiple different ways of holding the pencil and it just doesn't matter lol its all what your comfortable with is what I've come to conclusion.

[@BlairSantos]

crap... I do it a bit diferent ... but it works for me...should I change?

[@NineZeta]

no

[@fy.nghariad]

@lycanwolf2 Yeah, 12 now, still write like this, but don't believe I was 'born to draw'

[@fy.nghariad]

The method where the pencil is on your ring finger.
