/draw/ - Original Art

Try putting it between your buttcheeks

how the fuck do people use the other ones

Aren't you supposed to cycle grip styles?

I just draw it like (g) :^]

b/c/d is the traditional grip, that is associated with less hand strain and remains widespread in calligraphy, but most schools teach a/e/f/g, which children tend to develop into a death grip.

The way I hold a pencil is a mix between b and c. I remember in school one of my teachers tried to force me to hold my pencil like a and g and it felt super uncomfortable

Same. I just said (b) for simplicity's sake since its the most similar to how I hold it.

How is that even possible lol? Whenever I try to draw in a different grip, it feels so uncomfortable and I can barely even make a straight line. I dont know how anybody would be able to get used to multiple different grip styles, let alone cycle between them comfortabley.

I don't hold it exactly like that. I attached a pic of my grip for clarity. But anyways, since I'm not doing calligraphy would my style of holding it be bad for art? Should I be trying to learn the typical school-taught grip instead?
