Posting Schedule Update: Since the Creativity Challenges are sadly no longer a thing, I figured I'd bring the tutorials back to the 1st Saturday of the month.

Hello, wonderful people!
I was just on a last-minute trip out of the country to visit my family (some of which I hadn’t seen in YEARS), which means I wasn’t around my studio to film a tutorial for February… but fear not! I still have something prepared for you this month 😊
One of the questions I get asked the most often - both on YouTube and in my illustration course- is ‘How do I stop my lines from being so shaky?’ The short answer could simply be ‘practice more’ but that’s not very helpful, isn’t it?
So I present to you…
5 tips to make your drawings smooth as butter!
Tip 1: Position, Position, Position!
If you’re anything like me, then drawing is something you enjoy doing. And if you don’t enjoy drawing, I’m really curious to know how you ended up here 😅
That means you probably draw in your free time to relax, potentially curled up on the couch or in bed. And don’t get me wrong, that is totally fine BUT, unfortunately, it can contribute to the shakiness of your lines since a) your arm is not supported properly and b) you end up using different muscles and movements than you would if you were sitting properly.
The ideal drawing position is as follows:
1. Sit in a comfortable chair with your feet on the ground;
2. Rest your forearms on a table or desk in front of you, at a 90 angle. Your shoulders should not be pushed up (that would mean your desk is too high or your chair is too low);
3. Make sure your elbow has full range of motion—it shouldn't be stuck on or behind the table.
I know, I know. This isn’t the most natural way to sit. If it feels too weird, you can alternatively try to sit cross-legged on the chair. Physical Therapists might not agree with me, but I find that position to be a happy medium between sitting perfectly straight and becoming one with your living room couch… or floor if you’re anything like me!
