My hands rarely feel tiredĪnd when they do, I stop drawing. I personally don’t get strains or injuries, both for art and for piano playing when I still majored in it, two main creative paths where hand/arm injuries are common.

I get asked a lot about hand strains and injuries, and it is something most artists have to face one time or another just because we work so hard for our dreams. I got a question about drawing injuries, and I typed up a pretty lengthy response so I wanted to share it here as well. Had this baby since June 2013.Preventing hand injuries from digital art This is whAT I USE AND ITS REALLY FUCKIN GOOD Wacom and their horribly overpriced tablets can suck a dick.

I have a Yiynova MSP19U and I FUCKING LOVE IT. I got it for under $600 and a similarly sized Wacom would have cost me $2,000. I will sing the praises of this thing forever. Anyways, totally reccomended, just that, for a heads up, it’s a bit low in terms of support over fixes and stuff for now. (There’s also an MSP19U+ version that has buttons on the side for you to do quick keys settings)Įdit: oh wait, this advanced version is the plus version. Totally reccomended cos it’s also super cheap. I’ve been using this since August 2013 and have been loving EVERY MOMENT WITH IT! It is awesome, easy to use and heckuva great pressure sensitivity. the last time a post was going around like this it was a scam but hot daaaamn. I thank Domics on YouTube for pointing this out because WOW. SO IF YOU’RE WANTING A FANCY ASS DRAWING TABLET GET THIS LIL GUY. IT COSTS AS MUCH AS MY WACOM INTUOS 5 LARGE TABLET COST BUT MINE YOU CAN’T LOOK AT YOUR HAND WHEN YOU DRAW BECAUSE ITS JUST OPAQUE PLASTIC.ĭO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I WISH I KNEW ABOUT THIS BEFORE I GOT MY INTUOS? A LOT. THIS IS THE YIYNOVA MSP19U AND ITS LITERALLY JUST $600 USD AND IS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME EXACT THING AS A CINTIQ BUT YOU DON’T HAVE TO SELL YOUR LIFE AWAY TO WACOM FOR IT.īRAH.
