✰ Star Guardian Soraka ✰

My first drawing after the longest break from art I’ve ever had. It’s been a rough couple of months to put it lightly, and for a while I was worried I’d have to give up drawing altogether.

My worst artist nightmare came true last year, my hand gave out after all the pressure I had been going through with all the deadlines I had to meet and I’ve since gone from doctor to doctor desperately trying to fix my issue, with next to no progress.

Eventually I resorted to teaching myself to draw with my non-dominant hand, but to my dismay that hand gave out as well and I was barely able to cook or clean for myself for a long period of time. I’m still stuck with this problem and my hands hurt as I draw, but after persistent training and physical therapy it hurts now a little less. I’ve been terrified to have to give up what I love and the grief I’ve gone through has been considerably rough, so it makes me very happy to finish this drawing I started on in april 2020, one I didn’t think I would ever be able to complete. I hope you like it and I’m excited to share more of my future work again!

If you’re an artist too, please take care of your hands and respect your limits! It’s so so important.
