Answers: How do I hold a pencil for drawing instead of writing?

• Pencil grips for drawing
• Overhand grip
• Extended grip
• Underhand grip
• Writing vs drawing mechanics
• Pencil pressure control
• Gesture drawing

What it concludes

• Drawing mechanics require using different grips and involving movement throughout the entire arm, unlike the restricted wrist motion used in writing.
• Relaxing the hand and allowing the pencil's weight to do most of the mark-making helps provide stability and direction without choking the pencil.
• Think big and avoid being overly detail-oriented to develop looser, more gesture-based drawing habits.
