Remember to:
- Take breaks;
- Make stretch exercises for your hand and arms (scratch that, exercise as a whole if you can);
- Hydrate;
- Draw more, not faster! Increase the amount of things you draw (like nature, people, boxes, animals), then find what clicks for you so you can study them deeper. When you plateau in it, do it again with something else (trying to emulate things you like helps, like an artist's lineart or a favourite anime style). If it gets frustrating, go for something that you're comfortable with while trying to insert the study you're trying to apply currently (trick your brain into studying. Edutainment for the win!)
Good luck!
breaks: ✅️ (I'm already asked every what feels like 5 minutes by my parents to help them with housekeeping)
excercice: ✅️ (2 sets of 50 sit ups and push ups followed by going running, I do it twice per day when I have the whole day off and the weather isn't too harsh), althought when I'm talking about my hand hurting, its more of an uncomfortable numbness at the place where I wear that two finger glove that came with my graphics tablet, it usually stops being a problem after one day of break.
hydration: 🚰 been rocking the same water bittle for a few months now
as for the last, been trying to do backgrounds, for now thougj, I mostly use it as an experimenting layer to try all the different brushes.
