#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 ?

3 years working w/ occupational therapists here. Electric tilting lounge chair made a huge difference. Was able to lap weave before I could write. I am just now regaining enough fine motor to be able to color with pens for short bursts. Drawing needs too much concentration still and that crashes me.
My advice is to set a timer for like 1 minute and see if you can do that daily, or every other day. Spend some weeks there. Increase very slowly so you dont crash.
It sucks! Good luck!
@ArtseaGardener timers are really life savers. Thanks, and good luck to you too!
