#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 ?

@rybson daughter. Bedridden, horizontal. Can doodle a few minutes on a good day.

She does so in a little drawing book. Using pencils, fineliners, these things.

And she tells me, getting something on paper is key. It may not be all that, but it’s the start and improvement might follow. “Make it exist!”

Her hand, her lines, are (to my eyes) getting better. A distinctive signature style is shaping. Line by line. This seems to work for her, as well as confines allow.

@js I wish her the best! That is great that she is improving. I think i am, too, i guess i have to learn to be more patient...
