@AtobeOverlord Thank you for the advice!! I started using my arm to draw today and it reduced all the pain I had (found out my arm is weak as hell tho)! I usually pushed through the pain like an idiot, so I’ll take more breaks from now on— thank you again!! 🙌
Genuine question: how do other artists deal with wrist pain? I’ve done exercises and got the big grips on my pens, but my wrist is dying on me more and more lately
@Yuri_Alias_ Thank you for the info! Learning to draw without the wrist was incredibly difficult for me in the past, but I’m starting to think I shouldn’t put it off any longer… I did buy some freeze gel based on your rec tho (I forgot that existed) thank you again!!
@onlythosethings It’s more achy and sore, but a doc did mention I probably have carpal tunnel (we didn’t test though)
Based on the feedback I got, I probably need to wear my brace more often. It slows me down but I don’t think I can avoid it OTL Thank you for the info!!
@mirahiku (Sorry for lag I went to sleep lol) WEHEHE SOMETHING LIKE THAT… 😈 and thank you so much, I appreciate your knowledge about it!! I’m working rn but I’ll def check my DMs soon too cause I wanna hear what you have COOKING 💥💥
@mirahiku Oo I should try those all over body stretches,I didn’t consider the circulation! That’s so smart!💥Tbh I started this thread cause I want to draw an extra lengthy spicy comic, but Im starting to think my wrist isnt ready for that… I’m going to try tho! 💪Thank u sm again king!!
@mirahiku Don’t apologize for the ramble, I appreciate your help!! googling didn’t offer me suggestions more than stretching, grips, and braces which I’ve done already 🥲 thank you again!! (3/3)
@mirahiku me down a lot and the pain doesn’t always subside. I didn’t think about techniques I could use, so I’ll check that out too! 💥 I don’t think weather affects it for me? In general, limbs are always cold and can’t warm up well lol (2/3)
Tbh, my wrists are small, so if I need to start doing some serious weight training I’ll… try…. I wanted to see if anyone has an alt solution before I do that lol
