Handpain from drawing so goddamn much

Get software like eyeleo or similar and take regular short breaks. Use gyroball during breaks for your hand. Don't man up whatever that means and make your injury worse, that's just stupid.

Nigger, i draw on pencil and paper, i'm not using a damn software. I hate getting stupid advice on this board.

What kind of a retarded schedule is that, how about instead of drawing for a week and then taking a week off, you draw for an hour and then take 5 mins off. Do the math yourself.

With traditional, my hand is loose and flowing because of all the parallel line exercises (they don't work unless you loosen up your hand).
With digital, I lower the pressure curve and stretch every 10 minutes, as I'm new to this.

I have marfan syndrome so not taking a break isn't an option for me. Even if I had the option, I'd still take breaks, it's just better for your hand and your drawings will get better too. Taking a 20 ~ 30 min break lets you see your drawings with fresh eyes

First of all I do take breaks retard, and second I never said this was my schedule. I'm just taking a week off so my hand can heal properly. I never said i'll take every other week off. Learn how to fucking read, cunt.

nice :)

Go to gym and lift heavy weights.

Are you gripping your pen/pencil/whatever tightly?
I never get hand pain unless I tense up too much.

If you take breaks and stretch and your hand still hurts after a couple hours, you probably have a bad posture/grip.
You shouldn't need to take a week long break from drawing at any given point, it will really damage your routine.
Also, no need to be so rude, you shitbag.

I don't understand how people can get into so much pain just drawing. Understand that shit technique, going too long or most likely a combination of the two is causing this pain, and you need to stop for a while and let your shit heal. After you're better, work on not drawing like an autist, and lowering drawing time/frequency some
