i-it's just a step in the right direction. if i decide to pursue it anyways. like i said, it's very disheartening to learn this at 23 and not half the age i am now.

In 10 years you'll wish you began at 23
Start now and that's 10 years under your belt

He probably means pivoting from the elbow, which is the same as drawing from the shoulder
This is pretty much how you feel every time you learn something useful, so get used to it. Learn to appreciate it.

I knew about this but when do you use it? I find it jitters too much

Holy shit. I literally just understood what that meant after I read your post. All this "do not draw with your wrist" shit got me confused because I don't know what it meant. Thanks, anon. You may have failed, but you at least save me from years of hard work going down the drain.
I'm really having a hard time understanding drawing advice from anons because of how they are worded.
This works with digital drawing, right?
