  • Опубликовано: 14 авг 2024
  • No tutorial video as usual, guys and gals. This past weekend my hand stopped working. More specifically, it became inflamed to the point that I was unable to use it. What I got is called REPETITIVE STRAIN INJURY, or RSI, and it's a common ailment that a lot of artists suffer from.
    Here are some videos for you to help you prevent/overcome RSI:

    artists: please, please take all the tips in this video seriously. if you ever feel pain and tingling, stop and rest--even if your piece is due tomorrow, even if you're almost finished.
    i tried to push through hand pain this past March to meet a deadline and it resulted in RSIs so severe that i couldn't even button clothes or cook, let alone draw. after nine months (including many sessions of occupational therapy) i'm much better, but i'm still not fully recovered. i'm grateful to have regained most use of my hands, but i still can't animate or sew or use any digital devices for long periods of time, especially without assistive tools. i still get bad days/weeks that interfere with paid and personal work.
    i thought these injuries wouldn't be a problem in my 20s, but if i could turn back time i would beg myself to prioritize my health, even if it meant letting a client down.

    Hello, ex retoucher full time here. Suffered RSI for a very long period. I had to stop working and my liver suffered quite a lot because I took too many painkillers.
    Be aware people, these problems are real and affect your life in a significant way. Do never underestimate them. I cannot retouch full time anymore, I am mainly a photographer but when I have to retouch myself something, I cry :(

    Another tip that has worked for me is to get thick grips on pencils and pens. The smaller the width the more your hand has to strain to hold it. Because of covid I cant go out much so I haven t bought any, but even just wrapping some cloth and safety pinning it to fit the pencil will make it easier on your hands.

    Side note for posture: I got a rocking kneeling chair with a back support for ~$90 off Amazon n LOVE how many options there are to sit.
    You can sit in the regular position, which is just kneeling, OR you can put your knees up on your desk to support and lean back a little if you’re just watching a tutorial or something OR you can spin it around 180° and lean forward on the back part, which also supports your back.
    Bonus: you can rock! Which is perfect for ADHD or ppl who like to move around a lot.

  • @dochmbi
    @dochmbi 22 часа назад

    The reason for the pain is your inner fear of greatness. Artists will get RSI because they realize that by working 10+ hrs per day they can become greater than any person around them and that makes them terrified. Therefore the mind creates phantom pain in order to hold you back from achievement. Read John Sarno and recognize that all the pain is in your mind and it will be gone. The more power you give to the pain the worse it becomes. Human beings are strong as hell. They are made for all kinds of crazy hard work. Look at people who do manual hard work all day, completely healthy. The reason is because they are servants.

    I also have that, and that's why when I see videos from you and ZHC saying you drew for 24 hours or a whole month I really worry but I dont say anything. But I know that no gimmick or amount of views is worth being in pain or a brace for a week or two. Breaks must happen especially for those of us who are prone to these injuries

    I had the same wrist brace and I took it off on the last day that I was supposed to wear it and a girl took it and took out the medal part (which looked like a weird spoon) and she threw it to her friend and her friend went up to the teacher and told him that she had a very old spoon.

I do have days where I don't do any though which is good as I get a break till my next lot of orders come through. Alao have yoytuve, twitter, insta, tumblr and Facebook. Facebook i use everyday. I do find my wrists do hurt some days. Currently don't a studio to work in et (will have one in a couple of months time). Right now i create my designs on the kitchen dining table. I also practice anime drawing. I realise this video is over 2 years old but though i'd have a look at the video. Xx
