I recently injured my wrist from too much drawing and I've had to take several days off work. I'm slowly easing back into it now. I guess I'm getting to that age where I can't just draw as much as I'd like anymore. u_u'

Let this be a warning to fellow artists. I used to think that people got injuries like this by ignoring signs and pushing to keep working, but let me tell you, it's not like that at all. You won't know you've pushed too far until the day after when the pain suddenly sets in, and you're forced to rest or risk injuring it further. And it sucks. One single day where you draw for an hour or two too long will set you back several days' worth of work. And no amount of breaks or stretching will prevent that, you simply have to STOP working.

I just have soo many things I want to draw. I've got big commissions to work on and Art Fight is coming up so I've been trying to get reference sheets finished too. It's frustrating that there's plenty of time in the day to draw as much as I want but it's my own body that won't let me.
