It's pretty much the same with writing for me. Stuff sure looks better if I use my whole arm though.

Of course, it does take practice, but... I heard it's not supposed to take too long... you're supposed to notice your improvement. I practiced yesterday, but my practice won't mean anything if I'm not writing on a table or anything.

Also happens if I'm doing a pencil drawing and I'm trying to not smudge shit.

I write quickly with my wrist as well... I tried doing that while practicing with my shoulder... but it didn't turn out too well... it didn't turn out well at all.

I had to sit there and test it out also XD My hubby realized he bends and moves at his wrist.

Wristers unite!

On a serious note, I haven't heard much of people using their elbows.
