My wrist hurts… tiny phone screen is easier to handle than a sketch book but = tiny repetitive movements of the wrist. And it’s hard to go tiny enough on details. I’m considering saving up for an iPad or drawing tablet and pen but that’s a lot of money for something just to do art.
There’s a motivation and perfectionism issue too
you can buy a lot of paper and pastels and charcoal and pencils with a few hundred dollars
Unfortunately the traditional stuff requires more sitting up
you can use masking tape to fasten paper to a small board, that way you don't need a table or easel
There's lots of options other than iPads. I have an s6 lite which works great. Check out Brad Colbow on YouTube for dinner go reviews. https://youtube.com/@thebradcolbow
Thanks, I’ll check him out
