Straight from the man himself! Thanks a lot, that exercise helped pinpoint the feeling of moving from the shoulder. My elbow tends to move a little towards the end of a long(ish) line, so I need to keep working on it.

I am sure it has been asked a lot of times before, but are there any resources about the "drawing from the shoulder" method? I am finding it exceedingly difficult to draw consistently straight lines and somehow I don't think that keeping the pad at a whole arm's length is the correct approach. By looking at the other submissions, I think my superimposed lines and shapes would pass the cut, barely, but not because I aced the technique. Feeling a little dumb here, any help?
