rotating paper instead of hand
3:26 PM, Tuesday July 13th 2021
I am doing lines and boxes right now.
I have found that my accuracy is better if I put my shoulder / arm / hand in a position where I have the most control for a straight line and then rotate the canvas to match it instead of adjusting my position
This is quite rigid, but can be precise, the same way you orient a piece of wood toward a saw instead of moving the saw around if the analogy makes sense.
But I'm afraid this will not help me develop the right movement.
Is it a valid technique, or am I setting myself up for bad habits?
