What it concludes

• Constantly squinting at the screen serves as a software reset for the eyes and helps artists stay aware of overall values.
• Avoiding display tablets or using adjustable arm stands prevents looking down for long periods and protects spinal health.
• Keeping a loose grip on styluses and using pens with wider rubber grips reduces hand and tendon strain.
• Setting tablet and brush sensitivity to be highly sensitive allows artists to use a light touch like a brush pen and prevents wrist strain.
• Stretching tight hamstrings prevents knee strain and biomechanical issues caused by constant sitting.
• Mental health is neurochemical health, and it is impossible to contextualize happiness outside of the current neurochemical state.
