HOW TO FIX ARTIST'S ELBOW PAIN! Tennis Elbow, Carpal Tunnel, etc
Ouch! So many artists I know have elbow/wrist pain (including myself!). Mine got so bad I could barely lift a coffee cup! Through trial and error I fixed my elbow and I'll show you some ways you can help yours too!
To add to what was said in the video:
1: take frequent breaks and stretch out and RELAX your "gripping muscles" in your forearm. You can use the things I recommended or just massage your arm. I do this probably once an hour or so to keep blood moving.
2. Avoid keeping your arm or hand raised without support for long periods of time. Little things add up and it is hard to reverse that later.
3. If you don't have pain in your elbow, shoulder, or wrist, it is really beneficial for...

What the heck is Slowvember? Slowvember is an art challenge where I'm asking you to create ONE portfolio level painting/image in a month! Seems easy right?! It's not.

How to do •50• Thumbnail Sketches!

In my last video I mentioned that illustrators should be doing AT LEAST 50 thumbnails sketches at the beginning of a project. I was flooded with questions about that so this is a video showing step by step how I do it (and you can too!).

Great advice! Should you inform the buyer of the original that you are going to sell this image multiple times in different forms?
thank you so much for making this video, I’ve had tennis elbow at various times in my life and had no idea what muscles were causing the pain. I thought it was from bending my elbow too much and i’d purposely hold my arm out straight to help it, lol! i’ve taken all the advice here and fixed my drawing setup accordingly and i’ve healed my injuries pretty well with these tips, you’re a lifesaver and I’ll be sending this to anyone I meet who needs it!
Great video! Two questions… do you do these sketches on your computer or by hand & you just brought them into PS afterwards? Also, do you get to read the book first if designing the cover? 💭
So lovely and informative watching your process thank you. Please make more videos of you process!
Great analogy. I've learned a lot about what is causing and aggravating my elbow, wrist and shoulder pain x
Thanks for the great video:) Do you keep stock of all the products and sell via your website ? or are they printed on demand by a company you use ? I have a Redbubble store but hardly sell anything on there . I also have an etsy shop with cards that I have stock of which goes better but not as well as I’d like . Thank you
I come back to this video every now and then to remind myself how important thumbnailing is. Lee explains is all so well. In particular, around 6:20 he says that it's not about trying to get to 50 thumbnails, or a specific number, without caring how good they are. I've found that, yes, I need to do plenty of them so I've explored all avenues. But every one of them needs to be considered and I need to remain conscious of what I am doing at every moment. And, as Lee says, you really do need to have some fun with it and enjoy moving the composition around. That's just as essential!
Thank you for all the information ☺️
Great hat!
Absolutely beautiful
This video single handedly just saved my art career, you are so kind for sharing this knowledge thank you lee, for your generosity, your art is absolutely deep and beautiful ❤
Thank you so much for this video I found it on Google looking for this very specific drawing injury and you explained it so well and the visuals really helped!!
Beautiful
Avid user of compression gloves and pen grips over here!
What kind of pen grip do you use & how does it help?
@@miriamrobarts it's a generic rubber-like grip, I just wrote "pen grip" on Amazon and got the cheapest. It eases some of the tension you apply to hold on to your pen or pencil, by making it wider or "girthier" so you don't squish it too hard when drawing, in my case it works great 'cause I tend grip really hard
I was really blown away by the hue and saturation tool, I use it all the time but didn't know about it modifying a specific tone! Thanks
That was helpful. Thank you!
Soooo many great tips! Thank you. 🤗👌👏
This has been beyond helpful thank you 👍🙏 I've always tried to go from vague concept to creating an art piece without success. Now I understand why ... wish my visual art diploma course had taught this ... would have saved a lot of lost confidence 🙄
Thanks Lee, I used these on Photoshop for iPad successfully. They give a really natural watercolor look. The only two brushes not for use with Photoshop on the iPad are the smudger and charcoal pencil.
Thank you very much for your wisdom❤💜💛🧡
Saying something to help the youtube algorithm. Keep up the good work. Thumbnail looks great. You have all the good elements for having a clickable thumbnail
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it. : )
Love the video but your sound is very uneven. From good to very low.
💪👍
Wow! last few days my elbow has been killing me, Then low and behold, youtube hears me and creepily suggests :)
it knows all! lol! i hope some of these things might help you out! : )
Thanks for this Lee! 😊🙌It always helps to hear the personal experience of artists and how they work through problems. 💪 (Particular exercises would be helpful!) Proper arm support is so underrated 😅 I'm curious though, were you recommended physiotherapy? and if so, how was your experience with that? 🤔
I am going to do the specific exercises in another video. : ) I did go to all kinds of physiotherapy and rehab. It was all pretty basic. Great if you have no experience in it, but I've been doing all this a long time so I didn't really get any new info. They like to use some things that I don't do like dry needling, etc. I didn't find that made much difference at all. The real key was really me just doing the exercises a few times a day consistently. No one can do anything that beats that.
@@leewhite134 Great! Looking forward to that ^^ I see, that makes sense, it's preventative and puts the control back in your hands. 💪😊
People might think drawing all day is easy and you will never get injured. Drawing and painting professionally can be a health risk and we are prone to injuries, especially when dealing with tight deadlines. I experience neck and shoulder pain during long sessions. Thank you, Lee!
hope this helps some! pain sucks!
@@leewhite134 Thank you. Your advice and tips are great and will be of huge benefit.
I get that neck and shoulder pain too 🥲 The mini massage gun is a godsend 😌✨
Very helpful. I’ve done a few videos on this a as well. I haven’t done the extensor exercises though. I’m going to add that
yea, i think it's the combo of things that makes the difference.
@@leewhite134 for sure. I’ve been getting some good benefit from a little weight lifting. Focusing on strengthening the Back and shoulders where most of my problems start. You’re probably getting a lot of that from being active.
Very beautiful! Thanks for breaking it up! :)
My pleasure!
Hi Lee, Not sure if you read the comments from your older vids, but I've just got to say that for the last four days I've been trying your 50-minute time blocking method and, WOW! Those 50 mins rocket past, don't they?! I'm sooo focussed now and getting so much done, I finish each day almost with a satisfied smirk on my face rather than the "better luck tomorrow" glum self-talk. I exclude all distractions and put my phone on flight mode. And I've just finished a client piece that I thought would take me another couple of days! So I just wanted to thank you for making this video. It's really helped me and I'm very grateful to you.
Awesome! I really love hearing that!
super awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for more great advice, Lee! I had to smile a little at your comment about starving artists. I remember a friend & I went to a presentation by an art college, and the presenter said something about being an artist as opposed to making money with your art. That's when we decided to leave. 😄 Whether or not you want a career in art - we didn't like the snobby, pompous attitude. I love your down-to-earth, clear, practical teaching style.
Thanks so much! : )
Glad you're back on RUclips Lee. Great video.
More to come!
I tend to agree with you, it seems like it is more geared towards photos than illustrations. It might work better if you partially illustrate the parts that you need and then let the AI give it a go. But by that point, I would just finish that part instead. 😆
yep! exactly
Hi Lee, May I ask a technical question? If I buy a brush set and download it onto my iPad, can I use the brushes in Procreate too? Thank you 🙂
Yes! You can import them into procreate. I have a few students doing that already and they told me it works. One brush, the charcoal line brush, is the only one that MAY not show up in procreate. All the other brushes work just fine.
So so helpful. This gave me some direction for both of the current pieces I’m working on. Thank you!
awesome! : )
Hi Lee, Really enjoying your new videos, keep 'em coming! I'm pretty new to digital art and very new to photoshop. I've set up my workspace and shortcuts as best I can at the moment but I often feel irritated with it and like there must be more efficient ways of doing things. For example, in this video you use a pop up colour picker, how do you do that 😅? If you felt like doing it, I would love to see a video on how you set up your photoshop workspace 🙏. Thanks for sharing your expertise so generously 😊.
thanks Kate! : )
Hello lee Is great seeing you back on RUclips,Great videos thanks!
thanks so much! : )
Stunning brush set. I love your work and style!
Thanks so much. Glad you like the brushes! : )
Awesome video, thank you for sharing!
glad ya liked it! : )
HI Lee! This is so helpful! How big do you make the original, and would you sell it right away (after you got it good digital version) or try to hold onto it for a while?
Hi Anna, Glad you found the video helpful! I typically make my originals around 20x24 inches. I sell it right away if I see someone is interested.
thanks for taking the time to make/post this info, super helpful. I've just begun taking illustration//storyboarding seriously and pursuing it as a profession in the last 2 years, and have been taking all the sVS courses and listen to all your guys' podcasts. One of my goals this year is to have 3 or 4 decent portfolio pieces for a picture book I'm writing. Thanks again!
That is great! Can't wait to see your picture book on a shelf some day. : )
@@leewhite134 thanks!
This is really useful, Lee. Thanks so much for making this video. I do feel that many illustrators get into this business because they just like illustrating, rather than thinking of the business side of it. I probably had one foot in that category too. But as I'd imagine most illustrators are freelancers, and therefore self-employed, they need to be even more business minded than the regular employee. I'm a member of the Association of Illustrators and attended some of their online workshops for new illustrators. They pointed out that you'll need to use about 50% of your time on your artwork and the other 50% on business/marketing etc. I was surprised that it was so much time spent on the non-art side of the job. But with your (and a few others) help and being a member of SVS, the business side of our wonderful job is becoming clearer to me. I am really grateful to you for helping others like this. When I started in this world, I was told that artists have a reputation for trying to help their newer peers climb the ladder and get better. It is certainly my experience and I already love doing the same. Thanks for your inspiration!
Awesome man! pay it forward is what I say. : )
@@leewhite134 I do love this philosophy.
Thanks Lee! Glad you're back to making videos again! Tons of great info as always!
Thanks so much! Glad it helped.
Hi Lee! Love your drawings 😊 I am taking your classes on svs learn and am really enjoying them! These are some really great ideas. I am in my 3rd yr of running my art business and I just this year thought of my art in a multi-product kind of way. I'll def have to give some of these a try!
awesome! hope it helps some along the way. : )
Lee, I'm a married man with 2 kids but I'll say it; you're a talented, sexy beast of a human. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Jason! : )
Ha haaa!! 😄 Great comment, Jason!
@@leewhite134 What else does one say to such a comment?! 😆
Hey Lee, I don’t know if it’s just me, but I didn’t see a link “below” to get your brushes!
@@tracyhohn8000 Hi Tracy, its in the description where it says "You can download this exact brush set here: www.leewhiteillustration.com/digitaldownloads"
I'm glad you started doing youtube videos again, Lee! Thanks for all the advice. I'm only starting on my art journey (moving from graphics design) and my pieces are not at a level where I can make money from them yet, but it's a good thing to keep in mind even at the learning stage: make products and come up with multiple lives for each piece. Cheers!
Thanks Maria! Good luck in your journey! : )
This is really great advice! And something I've been struggling with.. To think about everything I'm doing as products and be a little more strategic and business-oriented in my creative choices. Still very hard! As artists we naturally want to draw these random ideas that come to us 😅 At times it seems impossible to make anything else than intuition or some unexplainable feeling tells us to make at that moment. But it often doesn't lead anywhere 🥲
yea, what you are saying is true. We naturally resist what is hard. And making random sketches and even full paintings is pretty easy. Our brain WANTS us to feel at ease. Making things to move you forward is hard. It requires planning, and some not so fun stages. But push through because that is where the great things are actually made. I noticed that when I look back on things I made 2 years ago, the things that were a struggle then, are the things I still like now. And the things I made on a whim, don't really matter as much. So doing the hard work pays off. But dang, it sure is hard! lol!
so informative Lee!Thank You!
Thanks! So glad you liked it. I'll be adding a lot of topics that go with this info soon! : )
@@leewhite134 awesome 😀
Great advice thank you!!. I find the scary thing is spending money on all the product! and then getting people to know you exist to sell it to them! It feels like a mountain of work to get that one sale :( (or maybe my expectations are too great!) It is really great you share everything you know though! it really helps us!!
Hi Emily! I'll be adding videos addressing that topic specifically. How to get into each of these areas without spending a fortune! Coming soon!
@@leewhite134 yay!! ☺️
Thanks a lot, this is very interesting and helpful! I found it very difficult to keep the price of prints, calendars and cards at a reasonable level, because printing cost is so high.. I tried to research local printing shops, but unless you print thousands of copies it’s still quite expensive. Do you maybe have any tips on that?
I'm doing a whole video on that either next week or the week after. : )
@@leewhite134 Great, thank you!
