Hey do your future self a favour and do your stretches kids…
Okay so I’m expanding upon this because it’s not useful in itself.
I have recently been diagnosed with Osteoarthritis. I am 33 years old.
I have drawn pretty much every day since I was 11 years old, often I’ve drawn for hours and hours without a break, and the main reason I have this really shitty condition now which may very well rob me of my dream job (I have been told by my doctor that my ability to tattoo is on a very short ticking time limit) is because of overuse. It’s not just because of lack of stretching, in fact I could have stretched every day and still ended up like this because I pushed myself too hard.
your body needs rest, it needs breaks, you can’t just draw and draw and draw non stop every day, I know that’s expected in a lot of art professions and even held up as a virtue I see “Never stop drawing!” Passed around as an ideal a lot. But this grindset will break you down eventually. This is why most professional athletes need to retire in their 30s, if you are an artist who has been practicing all your life, you are like a professional athlete of art except most of us aren't even required or taught proper physical conditioning and health practices to maintain our bodies.
Rest is vital, mentally and physically, please. Please rest, please look into proper body safe drawing techniques and posture. You don’t want to be staring down this barrel in ten years, the time will pass and I promise you, it’s a nightmare.
Please. Take care of yourself now.
Happy birthday to AO3 🎂🎉
