Hold the pencil firmly but lightly 2" to 3" above the point. Never grip the pencil tightly. In drawing your hand needs to be lose to move freely over the whole paper so you work with sweeps of your hand and arm.

Practice these hand positions; I will give you some pencil movement exercises next.  "Happy drawing."
