I understand the feeling all too well. I just bought a tablet and having a desk not big enough to move my arm and to lay flat on sucks.

Why I've stopped inking for the night.

my old one never did it but my new tablet is doing the same to me

Oh yeaaaah
I've always held pens like that, even from the grade school. My friend got a corrective rubber thingie for her pen to correct her pen holding grip but I was deemed uncurable :D

oh god i know this >.<

I have carpel tunnel in both wrists and my desk does that - plus the new macbook pros have a really sharp edge so that like... slices into my arm really bad.

WHY COMPUTER STUFF AND ACCESSORIES!? WHY!!??

It's a conspiracy!

that's the same problem i have D:

omg your pen holding skills <3333 idk find that cute for some reason XD

From the thumb nail I thought they were colorforms.

think get that issue with any tablet, certainly know i get it with mine owie x.x

Hey- have you thought about getting one of those large mousepads with the 'wrist rest' on it?

The flat part goes under your tablet...the cushy part is for your wrist :3

And if its too big, thats what scissors are for :P

But ... why not just put the tablet on your lap?

D:
BLASPHEMY!

Okay honestly I've never actually thought of that. I've always kept it there where I can see it so it can't try anything.

Whenever I draw on paper I'm all curled up around the pad with it in my lap, so putting the tablet there feels more natural for me. ~:3 Give it a try, it's an easy, free fix to save your wristmeats!

Ouchie :< I have a piece of cloth on my desk to put under my wrist when it gets bad, maybe you could try it too?

I don't know what looks more painful, thedesk or the way you hold the stylus I sit with my legs crossed so my arm always rests on my leg, but I tried to hold my pen like that and I got sore after a couple of seconds, though I could see where that could maybe give you better control for brushstrokes!

You might could use some sort of tilt-table, like small artist's drawing table?

Or there's an old calligrapher's fix: You get two small drawing boards (or panels) and attach them together on one edge with a length of piano-hinge (which you should be able to get at a hardware store). You can then open and adjust the boards to an angle that is comfortable, and prop them up with a block of wood between. That can be sitting on the edge of your desk, so your forearm never touches the edge. Maybe you might have to attach a strip of wood to keep the tablet from sliding down.

there are these gel pad things you can put under your wrist THEY ARE SERIOUSLY AWESOME they probably have them at any staples or whatever and definitely worth it.

i know how that feels x.x

lol i feel ya! it happens when im web surfin!

I don't have table problems but I DO have wrist problems. Ffff art is hard on you. :|

i feel yer pain. same situation for me. )8

dont use a table at all, prop it up on your legs.

or BUY A BIGGER TABLET JEEBUS

Nooo, tablet is my saviour through pain and suffering!

AND SMALLER IS BETTER i don't even have enough table space for bigger one.

D:< you need to clean your table then, you wacom masochist.

lol

I have the very same desk design..and arm pain...

make your chair higher. unless you have the same problem i have and if you make your chair higher then your legs dont fit under your desk.

More of a problem of having a wooden chair that I can't really make higher :D
I have a goal of buying an actual computer chair when I get enough money though.
