Whenever I have to do detail work, such as with an ink pen or draw a line slowly my hand shakes pretty badly and I can't keep it still. Is there any way to stop my hand shaking when I try to do delicate or detailed work? Am I doomed to not being able to draw because of this? Picture unrelated.

Well if you don't want to use a tool that will keep your hand steady, like those elbow canes and stuff like that, or even use your finger to anchor your hand on the paper, you might want to improve your muscle tone.
Start lifting weight and do straight line excersizes, where you draw a series of straight lines for a prolonged period of time, trying to make them as parallel as possible. Make sure to specifically start and stop your hand, so there's no hooks at any end of your line.
Looking into a powerball might improve your wrist strength, so just try all or any of the above and mark the improvement.
It might seem boring, but it's the mechanical grind you have to do if you want to improve your control.

Never heard of the cane before, I'll look into that a d the ball. I've been meaning to get back into lifting, too. Thanks anon.
Start doing push-ups

stretch. do some warm up exercises and try to learn how to relax. it's ok to fuck up. i think you have anxiety. also a huge fear of fucking up what you're doing. I get the same damn thing, dude.

This, plus it could be a confidence issue, OP. Don't think about how cool the final result is going to be. Just feel it and take one line at a time.
