>>2891336

Tripod here. Tripod wins because i'm better than you all quadopod fags

It probably doesn't matter much.

Modified tripod. Pad of thumb isn't on pen/pencil/paintbrush.

OR regular tripod, which is what I use on my off hand.

>girly pen
>girly horse
>fat and kinda girly hand

NO GIRLS ALLOWED ON MY FOURCHAN

>>2891449
I've been here 8 years. Piss off.

>>2891449
>girly hands

If that's a girly hand I must be the Aphrodite of hands.

>>2891322
i use both, tripod for more free handing and bigger scale lines, quad for very precise/accurate small chunks of line art

>>2891460
With a thumb that tiny it's either a female or a fat child.

Do you even fundamentals?

>>2891460
My hands aren't really girly in anything but size. I have small hands, and short fingers. Can't play the piano because I've got no reach at all. But they are girl hands all the same.

>>2891322
I hold it with a quintapod(?) grip. Like all five fingertips touch the pencil/stylus. Don't think I have met anyone else who holds it like that, but it works for me.

>>2891469
Oh yeah, forgot about the fundamentals.

Let me see... Simple shapes, form, light, and MOTHERFUCKING THUMB SIZES OH YEAH DON'T FORGET YOUR THUMB SIZES MAN SO IMPORTANT HEY MAN IT'S SO BASIC TO KNOW FUCKING THUMB SIZES MEASURE THAT SHIT BEFORE DRAWING THAT SHIT NIGGER HOLY SHIT THUMB FUCKING SIZES MAN.

Fuck off.

The best grip is the one that is comfortable for you.

The quadgrip is worse in general because it has less range of motion. You inevitably hold lower on the pen. It's a writing grip not a drawing grip.

The tripod grip you can lift your hand and rest on the pinky which, at least for me is not possible with quad grip. Everything you can do with a quad grip you can do with a tripod.

In the end, if it works for you, nothing else matters. It's just that empirical evidence will show that tripod grip is ergonomically, mechanically, and contextually better. Basically, if you use any other grip there isn't anything wrong with you.

>>2891460
You can tell it's a girly hand because of the shit taste and lack of spacial awareness. Thank you, I'll be here all week, ladies and gentlemen.

>he doesn't measure his thumb sizes
NGMI

Underhand + overhand + tripod. There's no one grip for everything, you switch depending on what you're using and what mark you need to make.

>quadrupod grip

Didn't realise it had a name, I used to just describe it as the grip favoured by people with Down's syndrome or those who's parents didn't love them enough to teach them how to properly hold a pencil.

>>2891588
I also hold it with five fingers. I guess it's not that uncommon afterall.

Hold it like a fat long heavy spear.

da fuck? how does one even develop such a weird way of holding it

>>2891817
maybe he just learned to draw like that young and he sticked with it out of habit? who knows.

>>2891820
yes but any kid who draws like that will be corrected by their parent or teacher immediately

>>2891603
but does anyone here hold their pencil with a sextapod grip?

Was a quad, realized that the grip was best suited for writing with ballpoint pens (as I had been doing my entire life) since you choke up near the bottom causing the pen to be more upright. This usually lead to better writing out of the pen. Switched to quad when I started drawing with a lead holder since it let me use more of the side of the lead.

>>2891870
switched to tri*

It doesn't matter at all from what I've read.

>bean

>>2891322
If I'm drawing/sketching I go back and forth between tripod grip or overhand.

>>2891824
if by corrected you mean
>What the fuck are you doing wasting your time drawing, get here and help do or learn for school?
then yeah

quad for writing, tri/overhand for drawing

>>2891809
Why is Spider-Man pissing planes?

There is no ''correct'' way of drawing. The pen has to move at over certain angles for the tool to leave marks on the paper, and the hand has to be in a position where you can see the tip of the tool.

You can draw with your hands, feet, mouth, butthole, levitation, robot hand connect to your brain, whatever moves the tool over the canvas.

In the end, all it matters is for you to be comfortable and able to focus

>what does the extra finger do in the right picture?
Just enjoys a nice sunny day, sort of sits there.

I do that and it's the way I always held my pencil. No other reason really.
