--For drawing board, you cna just use something flat and hard, put your paper on it with a clipper. :)
15 Aug 07:16
--Well if you're using a wooden table etc. You could always just put 2 blocks underneath it so it becomes a bit tilted like 30 degree tilt or so, can help well vs flat. For me at least, maybe somebody else can fill you in with more information in regards to that.

--IF you're drawing on a flat surface, you can lift your arm up a bit and rotate the paper when needed etc.

--Thank you Zearthus. I don't have money right now but I think streching and chaning my use of the arm-power/shoulder will aliviate most of the problems, and then, a drawing board :)

--I have to stretch almost always so :) My arms have always got tired sooner than later

--Well I don't really draw much on flat surfaces, but other things I can say that helped me in my case, is stretching.

--On ctrl-paint also says to do some pages of elipses and straight lines to get used to it

--And yesterday while trying to do a Betty's drawing of a pineapple my forearm said "stahp", so I'm trying to change the posture of my hand and the tension of my arm
15 Aug 07:06
--I'm in a really comfortable chair, altho my sitting is not so good, my back is not touching anything and I have it angled towards the table
15 Aug 07:04
--THank you Zearthus. I hope it helps to get the forearm pain away in the following days!
15 Aug 07:00
--One thing you also have to keep in mind (for traditional) is the angle of the surface you're drawing on,
15 Aug 06:59
--wagodx, definitely. Drawing with the whole arm is so fun, especially when you want to make fluent lines :)
15 Aug 06:54
--I really need to learn to acoompany and use the shoulder, if not, my arm is going to keep hurting lol

--Also you mentioned confidence in line - sometimes we can wobbly lines. It helps to turn the page to the line is along the arch of movement your arm wants to take, and look at the point where you want the line to end - not where your pen meets the page.

--The thing I learned was that line represents an edge in 3Dimensional space, not a symbol for a shape.
15 Aug 06:33
--:D you mean the sort of scratchy sketchy line? Yeah try to just go loosey goosey and not lift pencil/stylus from the page. Get loopey, it helps with learning form.

--Already have a chick :) But I have to stop doing this kind of haired line, I need to throw confidence on it
