when you don’t do a warm up and go straight into lineart and your hand does the thing
Thats a sign of inflammation of the wrist called carpel tunnel . I had surgery because it got so bad I couldn’t draw anymore.
Yikes D8.
That’s why it’s so important to do stretches and draw with your whole arm (ok, arguably hard with a tablet versus a big gorgeous easel) and etc but I forgot today bc I am a moron and it was great
?????
people warm up to draw? like… how?
not an artists but climbing hand and lower arm exercises;
trying to find more and better diagrams for other stretches but yeah it’s super important if your gonna be using your arms a lot.
Adding this important video for all the artists out there, take care of your hands ♥
Wait huh ???? It’s really a thing ???
For anyone who does fine motor work with their hands.
THAT HAPPENS TO INCLUDE ARTISTS!!!
Also an incomplete list of other examples: cashiers, mechanics, coders, seamstress, architects, knitters, bloggers, gamers, athletes, caregivers, dancers, assembly line workers or any repairpersons , medical professionals, writers, basically anyone who uses their hands for fine repetitive use.
You need to take care of these tools at the end of your arms and everything attached to them.
This is definitely a thing.
I never knew this and I’m a Coder/programmer and Artist…why was I never told?!?
