Inspiration

I was just going through drawing/sketching in about.com, there I found an interesting basic thing about how to hold pencils while drawing(yes its very important and here is the link how to hold pencil). While scanning through, I thought of my uncle who told me about this once,"see when you hold a full length pencil to its mid, you can move your wrists freely and have a more easy sketch than when you hold it in the writing position, for more control and detailing go for the writing position" when he told this I was not that mature enough to grasp it, he was not an artist, (I've never seen him even doodling anything) but I think he had a better understanding of 'how to do it' about almost anything.
