#artists , I know this is a long shot, but instead of complaining forever I will just ask:
Are there any artists here with #MEcfs #longcovid #fibro or energy limiting illness, or those who are aware what this is like, that know how to practice mark making when essentially almost bedbound?
Because obviously i can't have the "objectively" good posture and do the whole drawing from the arm thing when half lying propped up on pillows, in bed, with my tablet in my lap.
If anyone else has any ideas I welcome them.
My lines (and generally, fundamentals) are shit and I want to change that.
Not sure what to tag, #neisvoid ? #artlearning ?
Or maybe if anyone knows how to look for someone who might know this?
@rybson my first thought is the longcovid subreddit since it's very active https://www.reddit.com/r/LongCovid/s/VPRx2caLjo
@whimwitch ah yeah thanks. I sometimes forget that reddit exists haha
@rybson honestly, that might be for the best in most cases 🤣 but the covid and illness subreddits have generally not had the same behaviors reddit has been known for and i find them very helpful
@whimwitch yeah, that is good to know, reddit.. Well, yeah it is reddit.
Thanks.
@whimwitch @rybson i personally prefer the /cfs reddit as it's much more fatigue oriented

@whimwitch While yes discord sucks too, I can provide invites to the long COVID discord which spun off of the Body Politic Slack for anyone who wants. There’s an art channel there of some amazing folks incl ppl more severe than me & in diff mediums.

I’ll answer in depth about my practices & accommodations I use in making my advocacy art @illmarks , and what I advise in my workshops later/soon — Dr appt first !

Thanks for the tags everyone 💜

@moss @illmarks

I hope your appt goes well! I'd be grateful for the discord invite.
