I switch between dynamic tripod and dynamic quadrupod.

>>8024432
I stick the pen down my urethra and draw as I do my daily kegel exercises to move the pen around mandated by my wife's boyfriend. He can render just the way the normies like and is teaching my through esoteric methods how to get out of /beg/ because I'm a helpless no draw chud.

I thought he was fucking me at the beginning, just like he does my wife, but when i hit the 476th day benchmark something happened deep inside of me, I could feel the necessary taint clenches, the amount of it, the feel of the drawing just by looking at it. To this day everytime I see a high /int/ or /adv/ artist that made it at work, my butt clenches with each of their pen strokes, following the brush strokes involuntarily with my taint. My penis has become one with the pen, I've unlocked methods far beyond the mere human capabilities, within my prior hubris laid a veil, under it was the comprehension of the knowledge I was not ready to grasp. The "pen is" not what makes the artist but the way he holds it.

Evolutionary psychology found that the thumb+index finger combo (OK) is the universal hand sign for precision and probably always has been. Putting the pen between a "pointing" thumb and index finger just makes sense.

Maybe for bigger drawing you'd use the shoulder more and then you hold the pen straight down like a router.
>>
>>8024432
I wish people stopped pretending it’s an exact science.
You can draw shit lines with any grip and vice versa.
You can develop the many -itis with any grip. Even with rest and stretching.

Believe what you want. Make a decision. And do it. Most of us will not make it anyways.

(You) get an unfinished sketch I made a year ago that has been collecting dust in my "art" folder
>>
like a fucking autist
i cradle my drawing instrument with all 5 fingers like a sperg. when i draw on an upright canvas at face length i inadvertently push my pinky finger against the bottom of the pen to the point where it causes noticeable discomfort after prolonged drawing. i fear that continuing to draw like this will cause damage in the long run to my hand but fuck it im not relearning how to hold a pencil until im forced to

What about this kind of grip?
>>
>>8024432
I have only ever seen women artists do this retarded grip

That’s the ‘tism grip

What’s the point of posting something you made a year ago? Haven’t you improved at all in that time? Wouldn’t you want to show something that is more representative of your current level, or has your skill not improved at all?

anon... I gotta be frank I've done nothing but drawn goonslop for the past year. Maybe something about the urethra pen? I don't know desu.

Real talk is, only thing that improved is the rendering, and speed of which I draw, which means jack shit imo.

Here's one request from /aco/ I did yesterday, I usually go there for ideas because I'm a creatively bankrupt chud.

>>8024693
So this is the power of 'that grip'...
>>
overhand + pretty loose tripod.
>>
>>8024432
>pic
I think that just forces you to not use your fingers or wrist
>>
>>8024432
it depends on the angle of the line im trying to hit and what im using. on traditional im usually holding the pen as far back as i possible can in a really loose tripod which gets me the more american circley kinda forms, but on digital i cant really hold the stylus like that because the screen just doesnt have the friction for me to do that precisely, so i use a low quad, and for lines that go up or left to right typically ill switch to a more underhanded tripod, but theres a few more than that.

i think if you bother figuring out your specific use cases for certain grips it can really help sometimes, but its really not very important. we could do most of the job with the retard grip and good arm movement.

also i think people kinda glorify hook grip, its not that great imo, only really useful when youre doing something rather large.

Toddler hands, toddler grip lmao
Learn how to play guitar and you'll learn how to use your fingers and fine motor control

dynamic tripod master race
you also hold the pen really high up for drawing
>>
>>8024432
it doesn't matter how you hold the pencil, just do it the way is most comfortable to you.
>>
>>8024736
Learning how to type on a keyboard and not a phone also helps with fine motor control.

Most important thing is to have a loose grip. Only a relaxed hand/wrist/elbow/shoulder is able to do precise work.

not them, but after seeing your art everywhere around here, it’s hella cool getting to watch you draw trad style in real time. i even spent way too long trying to figure out what you were listening to because it was rly catchy and i wanted to draw to it, too.
