I can’t draw with a graphics tablet or pencil, I get pain in my hand. Really sucks that I have to give up hobbies because of pain. Maybe I could draw with the mouse, but that’s a lot harder to control than a pencil.
I don’t know where all this pain is coming from, I didn’t have any of that before medications.
Maybe I will have to stick with pixel art and not drawing, cause there using the mouse is ok.
You should talk to a doctor.
There may be a brace you can wear that will reduce or eliminate the pain
But your pixel art is good. Not a terrible idea to go back to it
Your pixel art is so good! Maybe you could use the Ticonderoga pencils that are thicker and triangular in shape. That way your hand does not need to close around such a small device. You could take up painting with your hands. Or even put a pencil holding aid on your pencils. Like this.
Definitely talk to a doctor about your pain. That shouldn’t be happening. But don’t give up on making art! Keep doing your pixel art. It’s great!
I love your pixel art
Thanks for the suggestions! Definitely something I will look at. I didn’t know those thick pencils existed.
Thanks for the encouragement, I will definitely keep making pixel art @bittercat @FreeLunch @Rainstorm . I feel like I’m making progress in my skills also so thats nice!
Btw @bittercat I described the pain to my doctor and he just looked it up and concluded that it’s a side effect from the medication. The pain hasn’t gotten better or worse, but it’s when I get my fingers/hands into repetitive movement or awkward positions that it flares up.
