Drawing Hurts

Tweet

You know, I have had some people say that drawing isn't a lot of work. It isn't hard. Blah, blah blah, you know, the people that have never drawn more than a stick figure or the sun at the corner of their paper. Well, try drawing for 10-12 hours a day all days of the week and then I want to see how you hold up. Now, I never ask pain on anyone, but drawing is a lot of work. Not only coming up with original ideas, but the actually doing so. And I do my stuff weekly, at least I try to, so I have to go fast. Unfortunatly, I had to slow down a little bit, because I aggravated an injury I got last year. Last year I dislocated my wrist and I didn't exactly baby it because I'm a dum dum, I also have a high pain tolerance, so I never really know how much I am hurting until...Oh look my wrist is swollen...hmm probably shouldn't draw for a bit (and then I do anyway, because I'm a DUM DUM) So, over the weekend I had to cut down on drawing a bit because my wrist was in so much pain because I had been drawing so much and very fast. So, now I am pacing myself and wearing an ace bandage as I draw. I want to get different color ace bandages if this is going to be a normal thing. I need red, black, maybe even a pink, I would love that. I probably should get a compress brace at some point, but I don't know what will be good for my wrist. So, until then, ace bandages. So yeah, that has been my life. Hope you all are doing well! (also, please don't tell me go to the doctor to get it checked out, if it was a serious problem, I would, but my needs are not as urgent as other people's right now)
