Is it terrible to not hold the pencil the same way as Stan? This is totally foreign to me and between that and trying to draw more from my shoulder, I am losing whatever little accuracy I used to have.

i know the feeling; start by doing your warm up exercise with this new hold.

if i may, the process of learning any skill: feel good about it, learn something new. try it out, it feels awful, keep trying it, it feels better with time. then learn something new.... rinse repeat (:

I don't think so. There are no rules in art. I think Stan's method is used in the fine at world because it crosses over into painting and because their paper or canvas is vertical in front of them most of the time. I'm interested in comics and I will do pretty much all of that digitally, so it makes very little sense to practice the Stan method for me. Think about your goals and what you want to do and then you can decide what will give you the results you want. If you want to paint traditionally for example, it might be worth taking time to learn this technique. Sometimes it is useful to try new things and get out of our comfort zone, but ultimately I need to use whatever works best for the results I want.

here is my 4rth set! so far my hardest one were the 4rth and 5th pose. On my last set of gestures I was told to focus on adding weight to the gestures and that was probably my main focus here. It was pretty difficult and I was struggling to figure out how exactly to add weight so let me know how I did. Thanks :)

These are fantastic! I am struggling so much with this. After watching the draw-along video I am almost ready to hang it up.
