4 DON’T LIFT THE PEN

When doing some of my digital sketches, there are good chunks of time where I don’t raise my hand and the tip of the pen stays planted on the screen. I like to keep my arm moving in little swivels. While it does create some visual clutter, I also feel that this approach can create a lot of happy accidents when drawing. It helps me to be less stiff and to just go with the flow of the drawing. For example, a large part of this samurai sketch was done without lifting my arm off the drawing tablet.
