Episode 9: The Physicality Of Drawing Nov 15, 2018

In this episode I give thoughts on and ideas for better drawing from a postural standpoint (ha, pun intended). Use your equipment, environment and body better while drawing and see if you yield better results and less pain in the neck, back, hand and wrist. Happy drawing!
