I discovered something useful today, taking breaks or exercising never helps me but THIS does, sharing to save a life

I just found out that some pro artists that work for companies like Dreamworks etc sometimes hold their pens this or similar way so it gotta work. Recently I spent 5 days on drawing for long periods of time (we talk about min 5 hours in one go to max 12 hours long crunch) and not once did my hand bother me.

I use this trick when I’m doing non-detail heavy work. Sometimes you’re just doing stuff that doesn’t NEED high precision, and as I get older and my hand hurts more, I need to be more careful about when I ‘spend’ my detail time.
