Yeah I hold it a bit weird I think. If you touch all five of your fingertips together then have a pencil in the center of it that's how I hold it. I doubt it makes much difference in your writing though how you hold it. Doesn't affect my art at all.

I hold the pencil both ways, but at different angles/lengths of the pencil, same goes for a brush.

>>1865304
if pencil hits the paper, its fine. tehre people who write with feet better than me

Still no response with

>just get back to drawing

or

>ITT scrub problems

Whats up /ic/, did all retards leave?

I used to hold like this but have since corrected it

>>1865330
>>1865330
were you raised in a hole by any chance

>>1865331
It was a crevice actually...

>>1865304
both of those hands are holding the pencil like you're writing with it which is a common rookie mistake

this is tbe proper way to hold your pencil while drawing with it, moving with the wrist and keeping it stable when you use your forearm for broader strokes.

Why does it fucking matter? Next you'll tell us how to grip your mouse because it affects your aim in fps which then I will tell you get a better mouse.

>>1865337
yes it does matter. you'll never see a professional pencil artist holding their pencil the wrong way. there is a proper way to hold your pencil while you sketch, just like there's a proper way to hold a guitar while you play it and a proper way to type on a keyboard.

>>1865338
That's not true. Achadobu held his pencil super fucking strangely and he could draw ridiculously well. So long as the pencil hits the paper it doesn't matter how you hold it so long as it feels natural to you.

That jap man who can draw with a pencil in his mouth would like to have a word with you.

>>1865304

The distance between the grip and the tip of the lead, and the firmness of your grip, matter more than how you grip.

my friends draws with grip of his whole hand and writes that way too.it looks painful.

See the one that says 2-3 years? try that one now and then. otherwise known as the overhand grip or the gesture grip its good for drawing long lines.

>>1865304
i hold it with my thumb and first 3 fingers

>>1865335
that's the weird way i hold my pencil for writing, i'm left-handed so perhaps it has something to do with that. obviously for drawing i use whatever grip the situation calls for..maybe all my grips are unorthodox versions though. who knows.

>>1865449
Son, not only did you link an image on an imageboard like a fucking retard, but that image is also a thumbnail.

>>1865304
I hold it the exact same way OP. Weird thing is I sketch and paint different or more 'traditionally'.

is that finger broken or is it just me?

>>1867207
I can do that

youre supposed to hold it like this

i also hold it like this sometimes, then of course with a pencil you also hold it sideways sometimes for tone

>>1867218
>>1867221

what sort of pencil is that?

>>1867226
its an oldschool koh-i-noor lead holder.

>>1867211
well... is your finger broken?

>>1865364
This.

>>1867232
no

I knew this guy in middle school that used all his fingers just to hold a pencil. His penmanship was so terrible; the teacher yelled at him. She gave up trying to learn his cryptography and said she would just give him zeros if he submitted more garbage.

>>1867207
You are gripping too hard if you hold it always like that

>>1865304
both of those are hidious.
draw with your arm

>>1865304
I hold the pencil with my thumb, index, middle, and ring finger.
I have no idea if this is helpful for drawing or bad, since the ones in OP looks like the thumb is just sorta -there- instead of supporting the pencil with its tip.

Fuck you pencil dicks my dick is fat and huge and girls love it more than they love you fucking period dipshit.

how about this Disney Professional's method?

>>1865335
I hold it that way. BTW, you're so dyel. Are those tits?

>>1867221
>tattoos
Degenerate.

>>1865304
I do. the pencil actually sticks out the opposite way.

I learned to write/hold a pencil at a very young age. Learned from my sister who is left handed who, trying to emulate a right handed person, learned incorrectly.

I'm basically on the retard end of the pencil holding spectrum. Will post pic if curious.

I hold mine between my thumb pad and the last knuckle of my index finger.

like this

>>1871341
you draw like my friend

People tend to say that I hold the pencil in the weird way too

>>1865304
I hold the pencil on my ring finger too. My handwriting is beautiful. You just suck op.

pic is a font of my handwriting.
