Very useful responses. Man, you are awesome, gonna contribute to patreon. I'll be the cheap guy with 5$/month but i'll try to add more as i progress [ and hopefully my finances too ] :).

I see what ou mean by shoulder but it seems to me that drawing from shoulder implies that i am very far away from the page. It feels really natural from the elbow for now. But I shall try the shoulder way too.

And i know exactly what you mean with easy vs good :)

Ok. just found about this sub and started the lines homework! Exciting!!

Still, i run in some problems...

1. My lines finish weirdly, like a "seen" sign at the end,i guess it has something to do with how i end the line.

2. I can do a couple of straight lines if i don't start from a fixed point. That is if i ghost lines in the air and then just put it on paper, the line ends up being pretty good. but if i stop, put the pen on the paper and then try to go with the line, it wobbles.

3. I keep my wrist fixed and i think that's a great improvement! That being said, most of my lines are from the elbow, i don't really understand how to move it from shoulder. is this normal?

That being said,i love it, and i hope i'll get better!!

Thanks for this
