how do you find the most ergonomic desk height for your body

You're not supposed to lean over your work. Whatever height enables you to have good posture (sitting up straight) while you work is the height you need.

I draw on a cintiq which has a stand that makes it almost vertical. I have a standing desk and a tall studio chair for it, and whether I'm standing or sitting, my back is straight while I work on something in front of me, rather than horizontally on my desk. I've never had any physical pains from work-related habits.

Ikea furniture have this bizarre height gap between their chair and desk height so there's a good several inches in between forcing your shoulder up and making it hurt. I stacked up a bunch of towels on my shitty chair to boost my height. and my shoulder hurts less because of it.

my desk is 30 cm tall (including the tablet) but i also have a pillow, it might be around 5 cm tall when my body presses on it

I am 1.74 and it works for me. important is to not have your arm resting on the table. Or if it is resting, to have your back straight, so just the weight of the arm itself is on the table, and not the weight of your shoulders and head

Ergonomics aside, if you want to fix your shoulders, start lifting weights. Even a light program will help enormously.

>tfw NEET who's too poor to afford a table so I draw on the bed using a broken vaio laptop with duct tape and a small wacom bamboo tablet

I started just doing 20 pushups every morning, and it made my stiff shoulders much better. It wasn't even my intention, but I noticed within a week or two.

you don't you buy a desk which you can height adjust and you figure it out post-purchase
