Used your mid-profile tip. That circle within a circle was a great tip: likalaruku.deviantart.com/art/…

I have a question. Why are the lines paralel, shouldn't they be vanishing to the horizon line too?

"Don't try to draw a perfect circle in one stroke. You can't. It looks stupid."

Well done, thank you for this tutorial! I'm trying to break my line habit, but funnily enough if I use "hairy caterpillars" it comes out way better then if I try rhythmic strokes....no idea why....

hmm. well, it takes practice to get the hang of having a smooth and steady hand when drawing for sure.

Thanks for the tips, I may try bigger paper, but I don't have much room, lol, I already work on a little bit bigger then standard copy paper sized sheets. I also do try to use my arm as well as my wrist,and mainly I've noticed that I don't really do classic "Caterpillar" lines, I more like to connect different curved strokes when I'm going different directions, such as for muscles and such, rather then broad sweeping strokes, rather more like 1 stroke equals one thing, you know? I'll try to use some of your advice

Huh! Very interesting and helpful.
I'm curious about the hairy caterpillar lines, though. I am an unwitting perpetrator of hairy caterpillar lines. Why aren't they good sketching, and what constitutes good sketching?

ah, well, basically the idea is to use complete, fluid lines in sketching. it helps to get the movement and rhythm which makes for a better picture overall. for example, in my figure drawing classes at school, we draw on huge 18"x24" sheets of paper (and bigger), even if it's just at 2 minute gesture drawing.
eh, I'm not sure if I explained that very well.

Sweet! Thanks for the link. I'll definitely check it out.
Thanks for offering to make a tutorial about sketching, too. That would be super helpful if you do decide to do that.
