Artsy (belated) Friday: Hands

I don’t have anything super awesome for you guys this week. I’ve been having a bit soreness in my right hand, wrist, and forearm for the last few weeks so I’ve been trying to mix up my routine a little bit, not stay doing 1 repetitive thing too long, and giving it a bit of extra rest too.

I’m going to be trying out these lovely things, work the muscles and build up some extra strength in my hands and wrist so they’re not as sore.

About a week ago Mr Some Odd Girl showed me an article on a comic website that was artists and industry people talking about making sure to take care of your hands and to realize that when they hurt there’s a reason for it, and not to ignore it. So after I had been complaining for a few weeks now about being sore, that article was kind of a wake up call to do something about it. Not just to take ibuprofen. My hands are my livelihood, I had better treat them well.

I’ll see you next week!
