Preventing Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) | Some Advice for Artists

posted in: Tutorials 0

No tutorial video as usual, guys and gals. This past weekend my hand stopped working. More specifically, it became inflamed to the point that I was unable to use it. What I got is called REPETITIVE STRAIN INJURY, or RSI, and it’s a common ailment that a lot of artists suffer from.

Here are some videos for you to help you prevent/overcome RSI:

Happy drawing,

I’m a schoolteacher who has always loved to draw. One day, one of my students said, “Can you teach me how to draw Baymax from Big Hero Six?” Thus, the channel was born! I’m a big nerd who loves comic books, action figures, and movies. I live in the USA, but I’m actually Filipino-Canadian.
