Let’s Draw The Hues! Page 10 – Flats [2 of 4]

Took a break for a few days to get some work done, but I’m back with more videos!

These two pages I recorded (9 and 10) aren’t terrifically spoilery, so I’ll be spacing out the videos I post over several days while the comic itself catches up.

Every artist who sees this post should do the following:

– Watch the video.

– Follow the instructions

– Reblog

I can’t stress you enough about how important these exercises are for your drawing hand. You don’t wanna get CTS of Tendonitis and similar stuff that will prevent you from making art or even hold  a pencil.

I first saw this video… I dunno, a couple of years ago? But after seeing this it instantly became part of my daily routine. Having your wrist crap out on you because you haven’t taken care of yourself while drawing is agonizing and not fun.

Get to stretching, artist buddies.

I usually don’t reblog stuff when a post demands it of me, but I found this video to be very helpful.

I’ll start trying these and see if they help!

I was a little shocked at how much it stung when I did the very first stretch in this video.  I can’t bend it more than… 5 or do degrees without some excruciating pain.  That tendon is not used to being stretched AT ALL.

I don’t have any serious problems with my hands yet, but my fingers and the backs of my hands are usually the parts that bother me after a marathon session of whatever, so I’m going to start doing these on the reg.

My hands also get a hard workout at my job, so I think these will help me there, too.
