Im going through the course and doing it digital,

Im having a hard time finding the right way to hold my stylus/pen,

Should i be holding it so its pointed straight up at the ceiling? Or is it okay to have a bit of an angle?

Also how high up the pen do u keep it hands? When I write I usually keep my hand almost down to the lead, but I know that isnt the right way to do it

Try asking this over on /r/learnart or /r/artistlounge. This subreddit is reserved for those working through the lessons on drawabox.com, as explained here.

That said, I myself tend to hold my stylus at more of an angle. As for my grip, I try not to clench too tightly or choke the pen too high - my index/middle finger usually sit around where the side buttons are on the stylus.
