    The KEY to the 'pencil dance' is how he's holding his pencil. It forces you to draw from the shoulder.

    Sometimes I wonder if I should change my pencil grip from the standard to that paintbrush style that you see a lot of professional artists do. I worry it'd be like teaching myself draw all over again.

    It's good for gesture and larger drawing, but you don't really need it if your drawing small or on digital.

    It’s not an either or thing, you can use each grip for different purposes. Oil painters grip brushes in several different ways depending on the intended effect, for example. You can get used to the overhand grip very quickly if you draw a lot.

    If you don't get the foundations down, then you will always struggle and be walking uphill. All these straight to digital, straight to Anime "artists" today, the younger generations, they are at a loss as Art has pretty much been taken out of secondary education entirely in the UK. Damn shame!

    Drawing is both talent and skill, but the real challenge is whether you enjoy drawing enough to put in all the time to gain that skill. People who are talented or get into drawing early may enjoy it more, thus making it easier to make progress. The thing is, even if you are really good at drawing, there will always be things you won't be good at (need to improve on). For example, you may be really good at drawing characters, but bad at backgrounds/environments (this example is pretty common), or maybe your linework is amazing, but you don't know how to make the colors look good. Mostly the people that want to draw regardless of the result they achieve are the ones that can go really far. Or the people that don't care if they lose their works, because they find joy in making new ones.
