EARLY ACCESS // aches
Added 2025-04-10 10:14:58 +0000 UTCI've had so many struggles with my tendons throughout my life. I've talked about my repetitive strain injuries before, where my elbow and wrist ached from drawing - something I've managed to overcome with time, but it was a problem for years. I've also had a lot of injuries from running in my knees, ankles, hips - the list goes on. I think my tendons are just a weak point for me and something I'll always struggle with to some extent.
For these drawings, I wanted to capture that feeling of being overly aware of what's happening under my skin and the connections between different parts of my body. I was inspired by those corny commercials for pain meds where the source of pain is portrayed as a red glow - you know the ones! It was definitely a fun exercise and made me realize that I almost never draw bones, tendons or underlying parts of the human anatomy. Might be fun to do more of in the future! For now, hope you like these ✨ also, be kind to your tendons!!

definitely! i found that so difficult to believe, that healing was possible. but it did happen! it's just a really long process of trail and error and non-linear healing - it can be a lot but you will get there.

2025-04-14 08:57:15 +0000 UTCyeah, it's all about blood flow. apparently tendons are difficult because they don't naturally receive a lot of blood flow, which means that it's harder for them to heal when there's an injury. that's definitely been my struggle - getting them to fully heal!
