cute!!!
I'm in the early stages of carpal tunnel, I guess, so when I draw or use a trackpad for too long my wrist and fingers hurt really bad for a day or few after. I've got a brace for my wrist now, and I've been trying to take it easy on my right hand to give it some time to recover, and I've also been working out different ways to draw. It's been really difficult to tone the usage down though, since everything I do (school, work, windlyn, various other hobbies) are really wrist-intensive.

Terribly sorry to be eavesdropping but I'm a lurker at heart
I was wondering if you have tried using your whole arm?
My animation teacher has us practice arm to avoid any hand problems in the future because it's popular among artists to deal with wrist problems

No worries! Hello!

I have tried using my whole arm a little, but with no formal training, I think I may be doing it wrong. I also have shoulder problems so maybe I'm just doomed. haha.

Hey!
That hurts my soul to hear. I'm sure there's some way for you to be able to draw still
Isn't there mouses for situations like this?;-;

I found if I wear my brace a lot (at school and work), and I lay off using my laptop for the most part, and only draw for an hour max at a time it works out with minor or no pain. I'm just much slower now. C:

Maybe we can get a topic going about ergonomic drawing tips haha

That's awesome, so long as it works out. I'm honestly scared of ending up with wrist problems in the future due to the amount of time I spend on technology and the amount of times I have broken my left hand.
That would be quite the experience xD

Day 21, Sengoku BASARA
Ooh shiny glitter and color

[Diana]

Wow! did you do that all with a fine tip? That's some dedication.

[Kitalpha Hart]

The glitter pens have only one tip size

wow1 "Day 22, Sengoku BASARA" looks like you put a lot of work into it. Probably my favorite so far, its striking.
