    think I should work on making my pen somewhat close to vertical, I always lean it too hard which is out of range for the pen to detect any pressure. and hey, glad u find holding a pen with 4 fingers and having the pinky support the ring finger useful, I thought I'm the only person hold a pen like that (I hold every pen like that, Idk I just think my fingers are a bit weak so it works out for me)

    i am using a quite unique pen grip. my pinky ring and pointing finger are in front of it while my long finger is behind it. the pen is pushes as far in toward the hand as possible. the grip is a vertical grip for both the hand and the pencil. as someone who gets easily elbow and wrst pain this is MUCH more comfontable than a standerd grip for me

I’m always open to helpful feedback 👍🏻 Although, I will say that if it’s about my channel’s lack of activity or this series being unfinished… I’m aware of this problem, and there’s unfortunately not much I can do about it at the moment. I know it’s disappointing for people who wanted the full series, but I haven’t been able to finish it yet. Hopefully I’ll get around to it soon, but I can’t make any promises. These days I have a full-time job that makes it almost impossible for me to keep my channel going, even though I’d much rather be making these videos 😅

I started pinching it more in my fingertips. its hard to get used to though, and since I retouch the spaces Im drawing in tend to be pretty small so its hard to use that arm movement

    Good points. One thing I would like to add to the idea of not using fingers and drawing with full arm. When you try to hold pen like a traditional pencil and use your fingers too much it is causing too much twist and jitter of the pen in your hand and you will constantly find yourself in position when you fingers are accidentally gripping and pressing the buttons. Many artists are having trouble with buttons and even disabling them completely! But in many apps we really need them. Can't say minimizing fingers usage solved this problem completely, but at least it became much less annoying.

    Hey there! Is there a way one could recreate this effect in Premiere Pro? Or something that looks similar to it? I have a video that I'm currently in the process of making, and this effect would work perfect for what I'm doing!

  • @CreateWithZac
    @CreateWithZac Жыл бұрын

    As far as I know, you would need After Effects to do the text randomization. Premiere has some basic tools for scaling, moving, and fading layers, but I don’t think it supports more granular effects, such as manipulating each character of a text layer independently. If you have access to After Effects, I believe you could do the text randomization part in AE and then do the rest in Premiere if that’s more comfortable for you 👍🏻

  • @yokoboo
    @yokoboo Жыл бұрын

    I've been using a three-finger/ring finger writers' grip for years, so there was very little change when I started using a tablet XD The advantage of drawing that way is that the small muscles in the fingers are already developed so when it comes to very tiny movement and details (which you do NOT want to use your arm for- right tool for the right job, if you think about the shoulder/elbow/wrist/fingers as tools that make different sized curves, it makes it easier to understand which joint you should be using to create what type of line (and why using your fingers to make straight lines is an exercise in frustration))- ahem, when it comes to tiny movement and details, the structure is already in place and doesn't need (as much) development. Great reference video, and glad to know I should definitely never be ashamed when people ask why I write so weird :P

  • @jeffreypostma6832
    @jeffreypostma6832 Жыл бұрын

    For your first point, you could also asjust the pressure curve, so less force is neccesary to create a mark. This works very well for me, as the upright grip looks really uncomfortable and unnatural to me. The loose grip is important though, but I find, that when I control my sitting position, sit quite upright, I have no problem with strain on my hand. Only the drawing using the whole arm is something I often forget, and I tend to zoom in and out, and use only smaller parts of the tablet to draw.

  • @MrBooghyMan
    @MrBooghyMan Жыл бұрын

    It's so weird to hear people have wrist or hand injuries while drawing on a tablet. I made my pen be almost insanely sensitive. I use the writer grip and have no issue, but I put extremely low pressure when I draw. I also hold my pen very lightly so that I can press those 2 buttons on the pen easily. The digital world helps so much that you can draw very thick lines with very little pressure, but you need to check your graphics tablet settings. At first I swapped pressure settings a lot, but I got at the stage where I can keep it low and still get thin to thick lines easily with so little pressure that sometimes I think I barely even touch the surface.
