😎 BEST ADVICE I can give an artist that has nothing to do with actually creating art. 🤓 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In the following posts I will share with you a few things I find very important and helpful in my career as an artist. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. Pilates (and/or Yoga) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In my opinion, Pilates and/or Yoga (I stopped doing yoga when I twisted myself into a shape and was terrified I may not be able to twist myself out of it — I exercise at home, alone.) is absolutely essential for artists. We spend most of our time bent over a desk or a computer. These exercises help with strengthening the muscles, but especially the core. As a tall person (I think I’m at least 5' 10") I find that if I do not do regular Pilates my back aches horribly at the end of the day. Furthermore, my sister who is a physiotherapist says that most of the health problems are caused by poor posture. Mine use to be absolutely dreadful as a teenager. I’m still working on it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The other exercises I keep forgetting to do are the ones to strengthen my wrists. If I spend a lot of time drawing without ceasing for days, my hand and arm begin to hurt. Because I am a Motor Moron, I injure myself while exercising without supervision, my sister gave me a few I could not hurt myself with. The easiest one to remember is to take a tennis ball and with the ball resting in the palm of your hand, without bending the wrist, to trace the letters of the alphabet against a table. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🤔 Are there any exercise that help you stay artistically fit? 😁 🎨 ⚔️ Warriors of Virtue Episode 3 Cover Art — Part 4 ⚔️ 🎨 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ©️2016 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . . . #arttips #bestadviceever #whatyouneedtoknow #pilatesart #timelapseart #digitalpainting🎨 #stepbystepart #artprogress https://www.instagram.com/p/BwFMPzRl_Gn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qqvx06by7d8a
