Ways of holding the pencil

 First, Think about your input into a drawing from a psychological and physical point of view. When we start out along the visual creative road, we tend to bring with us a lot of preconceived notions about what a drawing is and how it should be produced. It’s vital for the creative development that you shed these preconceived ideas as quickly as possible, otherwise, they will continually hold you back.

Holding the pencil in a traditional way 

- this way of holding the pencil for the beginner can be very restricting, as it tends to come with too many preconditions that limit our ability to be more creative. However, holding the pencil in this way is very appropriate for more theoretical and technical drawing where you need more control.

Holding the pencil with your fingertips
 - this action changes the type of control, and it allows you to make marks that are more tentative. The pencil can also slip quite easily in this position, giving marks that are not accounted for, and therefore bring a life to the drawing that is more creative because we are allowing for the mistake or the slip to take a positive part in the drawing. 

Tripod grip: 
-the tripod grip is one of the most common ways to grip a pencil. There is a downside to use the tripod grip too. Holding the pencil in this way limits your hand's range of motion, which is not great for doing large sketches.

Extended grip: The extended grip is perfect if you’re looking to do. outlines and basic shapes on your paper. This grip is really just a variation of the traditional grip, however you’re holding the pencil near the back instead of the tip. It allows you to create smooth flowing lines very easily. You’ll see how your lines are much smoother and not wobbly at all and forces you to engage and your shoulder rather than just your wrist and fingers when drawing.

Holding the pencil like a dagger 

- this is the opposite effect of holding the pencil in your fingertips. As the mark made from this action is strong, direct and usually aggressive in its expression. The very physical nature of this drawing employs the movement of the whole arm rather than just the wrist and the hand.

SOME FUNNY AND ALL NEW WAYS:

Holding the pencil between the toes - I have seen some amazing drawing done by people in this position. Stand on one leg and don’t hold on to anything whilst doing the drawing. Then place the board on the floor, put the pencil between the toes and proceed to draw.

You can also try it holding between your teeth... they all will give your drawing a new variation.

Treat them as experiments, and as fun - you will be surprised at the results.that's it! Hope you like the ways illustrated here! Have fun!
