added comment inStraight Line Discipline with Peter Han
Should I be teaching myself to draw lines with my whole arm or with my elbow pressed like I usually do?

Since you have introduced the distinction, try it both ways and let us know what you discover.
If I understand your description of "elbow pressed", it means you are limited to shorter lines, correct? For long lines on a large surfaces, you almost have to use your "whole arm"...

huh, I'm actually really looking forward to lessons on taking risks! I'm always overthinking things and worrying about wasting materials to the point that materials go unused for years.

So it's ok to bend the rules in pursuit of more interesting aesthetics? Good to remember.
Asked for help
I'm Clayton. I'm a huge fan of classic book cover artists, specifically from the pulp magazine eras. I would also like to be able to create eye catching images like those and have quite a bit of portrait drawing and painting experience from that quest.
From researching this project, I wanted to find an artist who could marry the expressive style of character with the impressive scale of perspective environments. I've found my favorite in that is Walter Molino. Molino's art creates such a sense of impending danger in both the scale of his backgrounds and action of the focal characters!
