I'm having a really hard time trying to draw that way. In small drawings you can draw with your shoulder too?
One more question: do you drawed big boxes in the 250 box challenge? I will start the challenge now and I'm not sure about the boxes size.
Took me a long time of really trying. However the reason I wrote the post was when I started learning Procreate on my iPad pro I noticed how much easier I found drawing on it ( I had previously found it too awkward ) but, after doing drawabox for a couple of months, the difference was huge.
It's not the you are necessarily using shoulder 100% all of the time. What I found was that the full weight of my arm was not resting on the iPad so it was much easier to glide around the screen almost like my arm was floating ( even if it was ever so gently touching the screen ). It's that ease of movement that I now love.
draw any size that you wish but make sure you change the angles and add foreshortening. I started my boxes big only 7 boxes could contain a page but i reduced it along the line so 11 to 12 boxes can enter but it is a matter of choice bro.
This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.
I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.
No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
