Hand stiffness is killing my focus when I proof my showcase entries

Just finished prepping five new pieces for an online gallery. My drawing hand gets all cramped up. Makes it hard to spot small errors in the files. Anyone have good stretches or chair adjustments that help?

Your hand is staging a tiny protest against perfection...

Hey Joseph, I see what you mean about a "tiny protest against perfection," but I don't really see it as a protest. It's more just how hands are, you know? They get lines and marks from actually doing stuff. Calling it a protest makes it sound like a choice, when it's really just normal. I'd say it's more about character than anything trying to be perfect or not.

Maybe it's both... the protest is in how you handle the marks, not the marks themselves.
