I drew a lot yesterday and now my thumb hurts.
>>7158002you might be gripping your pen/pencil too hard or you're using an uncomfortable grip. try changing to a more comfortable grip.
>>7158002My Uncle went through the same thing, so it's probably prostate cancer, the only cure is to amputate your butt hole. I wish you a speedy recovery anon.
>>7158002Take a rest every once in a while. Carpal tunnel syndrome is no fun!
Are your hands fairly large.
>doesn't post work
What the hell are you guys doing to make your hands hurt? I've never had that in all my years of gaming on console and PC, typing, and now drawing.
>>7158012I’ve been holding it like this recently
>>7158002I've drawn every day for the last 6 months and my hands are fine. perhaps it was something outside of drawing that caused your thumb to hurt, but it sounds like you need to work on your holding technique.
>>7158002Plenty of artists draw everyday so you're probably jerking off too much and you have a "death grip"
Stop death gripping your pencil like as if you were gooning and hold it more easy on your hand. The right finger position gives all the stability you need without pressing down like your clinging on to dear life Also of you feel your wrist hurting take a short break as well
>>7158097Try holding it like a fag your about to smoke
>>7158097Try either bigger or thicker pencils then if your not used to handling smol items
>>7158097>retarded gripaah I see the problem
>>7158002You gotta take breaks and do some stretches my nigga
