I had been hitting a wall and this video really helped! I struggled with my transitions from thin to thick, particularly when drawing C, G, O, and lowercase A. I couldn't get a smooth transition until I watched this and realized I was holding my pen at the wrong angle. THANK YOU!

OMGOSH!!! You’re one tip about holding your brush pen perpendicular to your downstrokes has helped me immensely!!! 😃 I’ve been struggling for months with saggy bottoms and couldn’t figure out why. Nobody could help me with this. They said that it was all about my pressure transitioning but when I tried your tip...magic! 🎉. I can’t thank you enough!!!💕😘

Thank you!

[susanrobison]

That was very helpful! Letting the pen do the work and guiding the pen may be a key phrase for me! I think I have been squeezing my pen too tightly. Would that make a big difference?
