Okay so I'm finally going through the arduous task of learning to draw from my arm and I think I'm starting to get it. How long does it usually take to get to a point where it just feels as natural as writing?
Thanks in advance

Sometimes it just works for me and sometimes it doesn't. It sucks when i can't just keep it steady.

I forget to keep proper shoulder posture but there are times when it works great. I need to get my shit together or I'm going to wreck my productivity with something like an injury. It's so frustrating when you realize you've spent three hours drawing from your wrist instead of your shoulder and everything looks like shit.

I have a fucking Bamboo tablet.

It's literally impossible to draw from the arm, and I can't afford a new one.

Life is suffering.

this, draw something on paper before you start to paint it in photoshop and work as far as you can with form in the sketch before you even scan it.
