Drawing with your arm vs your wrist. Anonymous 2016-04-08 07:29:55 Post No. 2477845 [Report]
I'm just starting art and the books I've browsed when out at the book store say to draw with your arm. I wrote almost exclusively using my wrist for a very long time (and now I type a lot, which is even less arm-intensive), and I'm trying to break the habit.

Is there any time where drawing with your wrist is useful? Or should I just unlearn the habit now and reintroduce it when I'm at that level in drawing?

Also do you guys draw full figures/objects even if you aren't good and also study basic forms? I've been trying to just draw forms but it gets discouraging not drawing actual objects or people.

Oh, circles are definitely much easier drawing with my arm than my wrist.

You should only be using your wrist for the small details, and even then you shouldn't be focusing on those until you're better. If you feel you need to get those details in, draw bigger or use larger paper.

When drawing the basic forms, you should also be trying to apply them to objects and people around you. It doesn't help if you just try to learn something and never apply it.

If your drawing digital you can get by doing everything with your wrist because you can always just zoom out. But it will definitely be easier in the long run to use your shoulder and elbow.
