Is anybody else afraid of what drawing is going to be like when your body starts hating you?
Does anybody out there do exercises before drawing?
When? Too late.
I do wrist stretches throughout the day and wear an orthopedic brace when necessary. Drawing doesn’t bother me nearly as much as just general long term computer usage does, but when sketching I try to take breaks every few minutes (especially if drawing on the Cintiq which is a wrist BBQ) and stretch my arm out. After a few hours I’m usually wasted for the day…after that drawing a straight line is painful.
Of course I’m also painfully out of shape which does not help.
