Eureka!

Still pushing on how can I make it better. I watched artist Zimou Tan on Youtube for a bit more on how he does his white on black drawings, trying to look for something I could pick up from his incredible skill.  Then I thought of holding exactly the way he does with his pencil or sticks -at the very tip of it.  In school we were taught to hold it in somewhat similar way but not so much of an emphasis. But I discovered that holding at the very tip makes sense.  You just need so much of pressure to make a desired mark. You get more control of not puting so much. It feels awkward at first but you'll get the hang of it. Of course, you got to have an easle holding your paper vertically.
