If you can't draw on this because "muh hand gets in the way!!!!!" then you are a literal bitch. How the fuck do you sign your name if it's that hard to accurately move a pen tip around on a piece of paper? LOL

But no, go ahead and wasted a thousand dollars on a computer and a drawing tablet or $300000 on making your hand invisible because you think it's going to help you draw better. It won't. It really won't.

How do you even use paper and pencil without wanting to tear yours eyes out? I used simple analy expelled pigments of my own creation applied blindly with great force for a decade before deciding to try out a pencil with a piece of paper and HOLY SHIT it was such an inconvenient hassle that I finally had to give up trying to make it work. The amount of effort required to hold the pencil, the inability to simply shit out something in a minute and then sell it to a gallery, all of it sucked my enthusiasm out before I even started to google "drawing".
The biggest issue was having my hand in the way. After working anallly for so long and not having to deal with looking at my hand while painting, I feel like I lost IQ points trying to draw "normally".
Anons who use paper and pencil, how did you get used to them? And how do you protect your eyes?
