Holding your hand this way means you can achieve a circle or straight line with ease.
Practice is necessary, and takes a little time to achieve.
This is the best I can show you.
To get the circle or the straight line the little finger helps you.
The straight line is achieved by holding the pencil like the thumbnail and catching the edge of a book or strong page with the little finger. Holding the pencil with thumb and forefinger move down the page.
The circle is achieved by the same way but to use the little finger as a compass. Put the weight on the little finger so the pressure is caught and simply move the paper around the little finger.
Simply put you can use a straight edge with your little finger as you would draw on a ruler and the same way as using an ordinary compass.
Thanks so much Alex…
