Do You Draw with the CORRECT Grip?

  • Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
  • Other than the textbook "Classic Grip," there are many ways to hold a drawing utensil -- How do you hold a pen or pencil? Is it an unconventional grip? Does it give you arthritis? Well, here are some of the grips used by the top artists in the world. Each one has its own pros and cons.
    Whether you're drawing right-handed or left-handed, I'm sure you've heard of the Dynamic Tripod, or the Digital Lateral Quadrupod grips... But have you heard of the more idiosyncratic styles? How about the CRAB GRAB? Sure, such a name sounds like some sort of joke or parody, but it's not. These unique drawing styles are real and we should all be making use of them. Don't let anyone tell you that the way you hold a pencil is the worst thing imaginable. Hold your pen and draw the way you want even if it doesn't work very well and makes your arm tired.

    This video kinda helped since I've had a recent confidence knock about how I hold my pen when I draw since its certainly not the correct way and its the way I've held my pen for 26 odd years so I think its a bit late for me to change that now. So yeah thanks I guess.

    I was looking for an educational video about 'how to grip a pencil for drawing' and i found the honest answer 😂😂😂
    But seriously this is actually so true for a bunch of things that require precision and coordination eg i was a competitive fps gamer and i spent a stupid amount of hours on cs:go, quake, OW etc
    And what they all have in common is pixel accuracy and coordination moving in a 3d environment game with mouse&keyboard, basically the rule there with the mouse is the same as with a pen or pencil.
    You need to find your own personal balance as for how much tight you grip it and how you position your fingers for comfort, stability, precision and (in the case of gaming) reactiveness.
    Also the type of pen, pencil or mouse is a huge factor... quick example: take a pencil that is too small and your hand will cramp or force your fingers to unnaturally claw then take a pencil that is too big and you won't be able to be precise and move it smoothly and quickly as you could with a smaller one, obviously the big and small all depend on how long and wide your hand his.

    Wow! Do you hold your pen like that when you write, as well?
    In Bosnia, where I'm from, everyone holds a pen in the so-called dynamic tripod way, which is universally considered correct. So, of course, I was taught that way when I was a child. However, since I was very young and really wrote a lot, I developed a big callus on the top knuckle of my middle finger, where the pen rests. Trying to get rid of that, I changed my grip so that my pen rested between the two knuckles of my middle finger, and I would bend my middle finger and curl it inside my palm. The callus disappeared after a few years, but it left me with a weird way of holding a pen. Many people commented on it. In fact, while talking to a psychiatrist on one occasion, I started filling out some questionnaire she gave me, and she asked me in a shocked voice: "Do you always hold a pen like that?!" I felt like an alien :))
    Later, when I started travelling and gained access to cable TV and the Internet, I noticed that people in other countries hold pens in all kinds of different ways. It's actually quite rare to see someone hold it correctly, and no one seems to care whatsoever.

    • @STIMULUSVIDEO
      @STIMULUSVIDEO  4 года назад +5

      lol no my real grip is the one I show at the start of the video. The other one is a joke. But if I'm being serious, more than 90% of the grips I see where I live are the so-called "lateral tripod." I think this is because most pens only work if you hold them more vertically, while the textbook grip we refer too is more suited to sketching with a pencil because of the angle. Just a thought

    Does the crab one actually work? I used that one for writing since I was little but I don't know how well it works for drawing. I don't even know if it's actually related to having big hands / long fingers, even though I do have very large hands.
    I've tried to do the tripod grip for a long time, but I just can't get a grip (haha) on it, now im struggling to decide if I should just stick to my natural grip, which is the crab (Which, I think is actually called the lateral Quadrupod)

    • @STIMULUSVIDEO
      @STIMULUSVIDEO  5 лет назад +2

      I've seen a LOT of people using it. Mostly women for some reason. In my opinion, everyone SHOULD use the classic grip because it gives you more control over longer strokes, and won't tire your wrist as quickly. But I imagine you can't force it... What's more interesting to me is that the grip doesn't seem to matter when it comes to composition. Sure, the line quality might be garbage, but as you can see in the end of the video, I can pick the most awkward grip imaginable, and it doesn't change my ability to visualize a picture. I bet I could even draw with my feet. Maybe that's the next video.
