Taking advantage of the low angle of
the pencil and using the entire side of
the exposed lead to strike the paper;
an ideal position for broad strokes.Arm movement (Position C and others)
Sketching goes “big time” when the arm begins to get
involved. It’s also when you need to move beyond the small 8^1 ⁄ 2 "
by 11" sketch pad and onto something bigger. By changing the
grip and by moving and extending the entire arm, an artist can
create long, sweeping strokes that fly across the page (or
wall, if necessary). Large format sketching must be accompa-
nied by a proper sketching medium, such as a large pencil with
soft lead. Charcoal stick is also a very appropriate medium to
use. This kind of movement is very suitable for expressing
landscape scenery on a grand scale.Left to right movement of Position C
