Alright, I get what youre saying. Ill try to work through the course now, but itd be nice to have some exercises specifically for curved lines to practice as well.

Regardless, I really appreciate you clearing things up for me

I mean, Im super shaken with both of the but most the tips Ive seen seem to only work with the shoulder so idk

Theres been a few times Ive had when drawing superimposed lines on my sketch pads where Im somehow able to get in the zone and make the exact same strokes after practicing for a while. The thing is Im never able to Carry it over to my actual art or commit it to muscle memory and when I start drawing again after a break Im back to square one. Am I doing something right there that I should double down on and if so, what?

Apart from that though, what Ive really been struggling with have been drawing curves accurately and confidently. All the problems Ive had with straighter lines are even worse with curved ones, which is frustrating since theyre much more commonly used in the sort of art I do. Im not so sure if youve covered them much so do you have any tips specifically for them?

Ive already been doing that. Using my elbow feels even more awkward.

I see, I see. Accuracy has been my main focus so I guess leaning towards that too much has done more harm than good. How exactly can I make my lines more confident though? Apart from the ghosting method it doesnt sound like the kind of thing you can really practice.

There is one more issue though: Ive noticed that my hand is really really shakey when I hover it over my paper. heres a video I made showing what I mean.. Is this natural or could some neurological issues be a play? Because apparently, hand treamors are a side effect of SSRIs that Ive been taking for years now so I really hope this crap isnt permanent
