In this video I go over the standard tripod grip, the overhand grip and the loose grip. Learn when to use each grip and which one I recommend to beginners who are learning to draw.

00:37 Standard Grip (What you are probably used to)
01:30 Overhand Grip (For experienced artists to gain more freedom of mobility)
02:35 Loose Grip (A compromise between the two if you want to work towards overhand)

🎥 Watch next: Practice the three different grips while doing the exercises in this video:
