TAKE CARE OF YOUR WRISTS

T A K E C A R E O F Y O U R W R I S T S

     Seriously! I just found out I have wrist tendonitis and its pretty painful but it could have been prevented if I’d taken care of my wrists properly!! Take breaks whenever you draw, even if it’s just to get up and walk around! Stretch your wrists during those times! Stretch BEFORE you start drawing!! STRETCH ALL THE TIME

    Take care of you non-dominant hand, too! It works just as hard typing away at the keyboard when you’re drawing digitally! That’s what happened to me, I was stretching my right hand plenty, but my left hand kept being jammed into the same position over and over again with no breaks! Don’t do that!

    Your wrists and hands are almost always the most valuable part of your body when you’re drawing, and they need to stay healthy. Stretching not only prevents and fixes any short-term damage but it’s been said to prevent arthritis! Now I’m not an expert, but that seems to be a pretty good trade-off for losing a few minutes of drawing time just to stretch!
