My Pitch Notes

My pitch was about an invisible fictional book about the Art Of The Pen/cil, which is about how to hold a pen/cil correctly and the different ways this can be done.

So I researched about the topic first, and heard about the Writer's and Artist's grip, and what they are used for. The Writer's grip is the most common, since this is what people are taught in school. Often people draw with this grip too. The Writer's grip is when the Pen/cil is held with the thumb and the forefinger, balanced on the middle finger. It good good for small and precise work, but becomes very lacking once your work becomes larger. Also is prone to producing blisters, at least to me.

The Artist's grip is a very different grip. Also held between the thumb and the forefinger, but with the butt of the pen/cil nested into the users palm. This grip is good for large, and arcing work. For example, if one were to master this grip they can create a visually perfect circle in one motion. The writers grip uses the wrist, which is tiring with a large piece of work, but the Artist's grip uses the arm, and the wrist together. Great for larger work, but lacking when it comes to the little things, but still has precise movement and mark making. It is good for sketching.

I then used this knowledge to demonstrate the power of the different grips and how this could help them. to learn more they would need to purchase the book.
