drawing with tendinitis

Having tendinitis in both hands which sometimes causes my right hand to shake uncontrollably (I’m right-handed), I find things like measuring ingredients, carrying a full glass, eating a spoonful of soup — or drawing — challenging at times.

I drew the ink lines of this sketch with a Pentel Pocketbrush pen which has an actual brush tip instead of a nib. Fun, unpredictable, and very difficult to control! I was amazed at how nice the ink lines turned out, and I’m a bit sorry that I added watercolor. Especially those crazy too-dark shadows.

  1. Vicki I think it is wonderful. Understand about the tendinitis...have it going on in my shoulder down to my fingers. Computer and calculator is my problem - work with them all day. Take care and have a great weekend.

    1. I’m sorry to hear that, Debbie. Having it from your shoulder, down, must really be limiting during pain flare-ups. I’ve wondered if mine is related to too much use of electronic devices, but not enough to give them up.
