Hiya! I have a question for people who are really good at drawing.
How big a line would you draw with your shoulder on overhand pencil holding on? How big would you draw your using wrist using the writing pencil on? I was recently told to start drawing with shoulder and overhand holding technique, but I always want to just use my wrist with my writing hold.
So if you could, on my image I made, show me how big on an A4 sheet of paper you'd drawing your smallest overhand shoulder line, and your biggest wrist line, it would help me to see how where about I should be doing things.

I don't use the overhand grip very often for sketchbook things like that. That type of grip and drawing from the shoulder is best suited for doing larger work on a vertical surface, for example an 18x24" pad of newsprint clipped to a board and put on an easel.
There's no real answer on what line uses what technique. In general I guess the longer more gestural lines will be done more from the elbow and shoulder, and small details are more fingers and wrist, but there are exceptions to this. Each person has different preferences and different drawing styles. Something like a fine hatching basically needs to be done from the wrist though.
Just draw and don't think about it too much. After filling a sketchbook or two you will know what works for you personally.
