Avoiding pain when drawing with a tablet?
9 years ago
General
Been drawing for a couple of weeks on paper fine. This weekend I drew with my tablet again for less time than I'd spend drawing on paper and my right arm feels like it's gone through a meat grinder, even when drawing in the same position as when I draw on paper. Any advice/reasons this may be happening? I'm gonna try a wrist support, moving my entire arm instead of just my wrist and maybe hold the stylus at a different angle. Just confused as to why I'm getting more pain when I'm essentially drawing the way I do with pencil and paper, I don't put that much more pressure on the tablet as I do with paper

Maybe it's the size of the tablet? What model are you using.

Might need to find a new position to draw in. Sometimes it has to do with the rest of the body as well.
