What can I do to keep the barrel of my pencil from hurting my fingers very badly after some hours of drawing? My picture does not show the color of my hand well but there some days I sincerely worry it will start to bleed.
I bought pencil grips from Blick which I did not find very comfortable. I see some pencil artists who just use wadded masking tape rolled around their pencil but I dislike this since I don't want my pencils to get sticky. I also tend to move my pencil up and down in my hand so I very dislike moving the grip a lot (sometimes use long side of lead, sometimes use point).
Grips from Blick were these: http://www.dickblick.com/products/pencil-grips/?clickTracking=true&wmcp=pla&wmcid=items&wmckw=22954-1012&gclid=CJrmqOWNpdICFZKGfgodvYEG8Q

By not drawing, it's inevitable, every artist has it and they don't go away. Good luck and have fun.

I do not understand why, but my picture was flipped horizontally when 4chan accepted my upload. I am left handed.

Stop holding it like a retard.

If you write/draw enough you'll get a callous eventually. Loosen up your grip and try using an overhand grip for a little while.
