  • In today's video, I'm going to show you how to draw from your shoulder! This is the same technique that I use to get expressive, bold, and energetic lines. It will also help if you struggle from wrist pain while drawing! Filmed with three cameras, the multiple angles will give you a full view as I break down my process!

    Literally improved my drawing overnight. It's like when I got into guitar and learned all the tiny ergonomic things that make good players good like angling the pick, dropping the wrist for barres, fretting with your finger tips vs. pads etc. etc. Took a bit to get used to but it was an easy change with both immediate and long-term benefits

    This is how i had drawn for years. My art teacher in middle school always told me i move my arm and paper too much when i draw. Went back to his class a few years later while in highscho, the dude had sever wrist issues, needed a brace and now would draw like me. He made a remark saying "guess i was doing it wrong the whole time". Had a chuckle

    Everybody says to draw from the shoulder, but they didn't mention about the stability of the arm -- for that reason, I kept hovering my arm because my desk is small, resulting in worse results than expected. But now I see you're gliding your arm on the table and tablet. That makes a huge difference.

      Thanks man, I was having the same problem too (hovering my arm above my desk cause it's small). But your comment really helped me see what I'm supposed to do, and I appreciate it👌

    A true eye opener. I followed many of your cartooning 101 videos and felt the shift from the wrist to the elbow coming, now I learn that it's supposed to be that way. Amazing!

    Drawing from the wrist gave me RSI and it hurts whenever I grip my pen so now I wanna learn how to draw from the shoulder.
    I wish somebody would have told me about this before I got injured.

  • @LeBonesCreations
    @LeBonesCreations 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Wowza this is great. Just playing practice while you instruct made a diff. The tapers and my art was wrists based totally, now I have another technique to apply and my tapers come together and my strokes more fluid. You are awesome. Thanks for the great info. Leah
    FYI. I tend to,overthink and thx for,the tip. I am a perfectionist and unlearning that is difficult. I have adopted a thought process that is helping. I try to forget about the eraser or the back up option. I also get stuck in the ‘follow EXACTLY how the teacher does it, do not change or add your own to the project until the teacher is done.’ This ruined many pics and tutorials for me. So now I allow maybe 5 eraser options and force myself to complete the project without focusing on perfection. Adding yiur help of the shoulder to,draw is gonna help me a lot. .

    Hi Bee Jay! Thanks again for these super how to video… I’m so sad, cause for the first time I can’t apply you advices… I’m able to draw but with my disability I can’t use all my harm just my wrist… maybe it’s why I’m a little bit frustrated because I can’t progress like I would… My line are not smooth like I’d liked too… I will have to work harder to find a way to improve my work, because I really like drawing and i don’t wont to stop ;-) (sorry for my bad English, I’m French Canadien)

    This was so extremely helpful! I love your videos and have learnt so much over time and have been inspired to continue learning drawing/cartooning techniques. I have a question that is unrelated to the specific topic of technique ... I find that the nub of the apple pencil 2 does begin to wear down after sketching after a while (I don't use Paperlike, but a more affordable iCarez matte screen protector). Do you find that happening to your pencil as well? If so, do you have a cap of some sort, or do you simply replace the nub? What are your recommendations regarding this? Thanks.
