Everything I draw ends up wearing a bow-tie

Anonymous asked: so can you go back to drawing right handed? :O

Not straight away, I’m afraid- while we’ve located the reason my arm has been hurt in the first place, that doesn’t mean it’s magically better! I still have to recover from the RSI that I have in my right arm, and I have to recover my overall muscle strength very gradually- I was so afraid of making the situation worse I basically stopped doing all exercise. It sounds pathetic, but I really was terrified to do anything, and I am still a bit scared! I made light of it in yesterday’s post but this is a serious life-long condition. Pain is going to be a regular, largely unavoidable thing for me forever and that’s nothing to look forward to; I just have to find ways to deal with it and avoid making it worse.

So yeah, I will still be learning to draw left handed and doing most of the work left handed until I am sure my right has recovered enough, and then I will try to balance the work out 50/50 between both hands. Maybe I’ll try drawing with my feet on the side idk
