Pencil Holding PSA

Hello I have some important info concerning your pencil grip. If any of you actually DO hold your stylus/ pencil for several hours each day be wary of how you grip it. I was drawing literally 8 hours a day everyday and eventually my wrist began to hurt. This lasted for 10 months. The source of my injury was in my pinky finger. If you are like me and curl your pinky inwards towards your palm. Be sure to stretch or break that bad habit. It can lead to trigger finger or worse. This goes for any other finger as well. Dont let your nerves and tendons get to to tight. People constantly tell you to draw for hours upon hours but you wont last very long if you dont take care of your body. Dont end up like me who had to waste 10 months of his life just to fix this. Part of gitting gud is learning how to maintain balance and not end up with shitty wrist. Good luck everyone.
