I have been drilling traces for the last month or so and have an ((okay)) feel for some of the basics(stomach, legs, back/sides), and can make them flow alright. But I just can't seem to grasp wrist tracing. I know it's possible, since I've seen it done a few times in the videos on here, and in some discussions.
So if anyone could give me some tips or information on wrist tracing I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.

i advise you do not learn to trace like this...
If you learn to trace by "move" then you will not develop a unique and comfortable tracing style for a long time. Be free with your motions, and try to avoid naming or labelling moves, so you can be a better freehander! =)

wrist trace... it seems to me as if you wanted to do the trace that you see in chen's april vid. all it is, is a smaller butterfly trace. basically, just have your wrists together and form an x (with your right wrist in front of your left). while keeping your wrists together, push your hands down and bring it back up to starting position. you are just basically making two circles with the tip of the glowstick and have your wrists wrapping around the other arm. if you really want, i can make a tutorial for you. but this move is pretty simple, shouldnt take you long to get.
but on the other note, as gin says, be free with your motions and avoid naming the moves. the less you know will force you to expand your horizons. just mess around and think of different ways to trace.

The move is very easy if you know what your doing but ive been doing this for almost a year now so it might be harder for you new people.. what you do is you try to rotate your hand around your wrist.. You put your hand under your wrist then go up then under and go back up then do it with your other hand and do the same thing
Note: sto0pybo1 also posted a link to a video tut, but the link is now dead. Does anyone have this video?
