Hi, so this might seem like a silly question,
But how can I tell if I am drawing from the shoulder? I have a hard time telling the difference between drawing from my arm and my shoulder. Should my shoulder be moving in the socket? I'm using my entire arm when I try to draw from the shoulder, is this how I should be doing it??
Thanks! I hope this makes sense.
:)

For learning to recognize it, touch your shoulder sockets -as you said-. It should be moving when you are drawing from it; you should touch it to be able to recognize how it feels to draw from it . That way you are gonna learn to do it without problems.
And yes, using your entire arm is how you should be doing it.
Don't worry, is not a silly question. I used to be extremely confused with it, and the solution simply was to touch my shoulder socket when trying to draw from the shoulder.
Hope this helps!
Thank you! This makes a lot of sense actually, I just needed someone to help me with how it should feel. Thank you for the tip about feeling the shoulder socket moving!
Appreicate it a lot! Stay safe and healthy during this time!!
:)
you too, stay safe!
Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.
The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
