If you have trouble with smudging your artwork or have arm and handcamps or even back and shoulder pain when drawing or painting, this video is for you. I mainly create artworks in pastels such as this wolf here. I can't rest my hand on paper on top of my work as that smudges the pastel underneath. So this hand rest equipment right here has been an absolute life saver. I also used to get really bad back and shoulder cramps after a long day of drawing and I'm only 23 so hopefully I don't already have a naturally bad back. However, as I rest my wrist on this device to draw or paint, it really takes the strain off my back and shoulders and also avoids smudging my work. I would also just like to say that this video is not sponsored at all. I'm simply highly recommending this product as it has greatly helped me and I would like to share it with others. If like me, you have a tilted surface to draw or paint on, I simply apply masking tape to the edges to hold it up and stop it from slipping down. There may be a better way to do this but this is how I do it to keep it in place and it works well for me. Achieving the same result as a mouth stick, this device is raised a couple of inches above your artwork to make sure your hand stays away from smudging what's beneath. Keeping our oily and dirty hands off artworks is really important especially when it comes to producing the highest quality work. This device comes in three sizes, 18 inch, 24 inch and 31 inches. This device is also now an essential studio tool for me for adding in those precise details to my work, on larger pieces especially. My hand is able to hover over just the spot that I need to get at. It's made of a very sturdy acrylic so you don't need to worry about it bending down or touching your work or even breaking. I have been using mine for about four months now and the quality has been really really great so far. Thank you for watching this short video and I hope it's helped you out if you have problems with smudging your work, back pain or hand cramps.
