I messed up the ears of my bunny wooble so I made a mouse instead. I also hated the face placement of the bunny so I moved it to be more derpy.

Our house mum (the woman who looks after my grade in boarding) crocheted some mice for all of us in my grade with a little message attached to them that describes them because we made it 3/4's through the year
Every term we have a new theme, this term's theme is "Twice as nice" which rhymes with mice, so we have little mouse stickers around our level and its really cute
This is the mouse that I got, we had lots of laughs and a big group hug at the end and it was really nice
I named my mouse Chik Chik bc i thought it was a cute name for a cute mouse

um now that you mention it, my own hands start hurting after drawing for too long ,,, do you know where I could learn those stretches you mentioned ???
If you find that your hand/wrist/arm/shoulder get painful when you're working on art set a timer for 1 hour [if you feel severe pain, you should rest, but in lieu of that, set your timer for every half hour.]
Every time that timer goes off, you can go through these stretches. They're the ones I do, anyway:
Do this thing with your arm extended, grab the fingertips in your other hand and pull back. You should feel a gentle stretch in your forearm. I will hold both of those positions for around 10 seconds. You can hold for longer if you want a better stretch. Some people hold it for 20-30 seconds.
Then I repeat those stretches but with my palm facing inwards like this:
I like to curl my fingers when I do it too. Wiggle em around a little.
After that, place your palm flat on the table and bend your elbow at a 90掳 angle, like you're doing your best impression of an alligator crawling out of the water. [Or if you're a nerd like me, you can pretend you're summoning the jaguar from Road to El Dorado:
[getting on the ground isn't necessary for your dramatic recreation, you can do it on your desk. Anyway.]
With your elbow bent at the angle, you're going to push down gently on your palm and roll your wrist in a circle. This loosens up your elbow and your shoulder, as well as rotates your wrist.
After that, roll your shoulders a few times. Shrug them a few more.
Then extend your arms out to your sides [T-pose for dominance] and make circles with your arms. Big and small. You can do 10 big and 10 small, or just make circles to your heart's content.
Finally, wiggle it out. Pretend you're in grade school and your teacher just told you to wiggle out your energy. Do your best impression of a limp loose rubber goose. Just get silly. This is just to shake out any remaining stiffness, and gives you an excuse to stand up, if you haven't done so already.
If you're incorporating these stretches into your art routine, now is also a good time to take a drink of water. Stay hydrated.
Important things to remember:
At no point in time should these stretches cause severe pain. If you feel shooting pains, pins and needles in your hand/fingertips, or burning in your muscles, stop what you're doing and rest. That is your body telling you something is wrong and it wants time to heal. Whatever you're doing, it will wait.
Also, if you find you are resting, but everything still hurts, one thing I've done in the past is sleep with a wrist brace. This keeps your wrist/hand from flopping around and getting into awkward positions at night. If you too would like to sleep with a wrist brace, remember to keep the brace firm but loose. It should be firm enough to keep you from bending your wrist all the way, not so tight that it cuts off blood flow, makes you sore, or makes your fingers tingle. Especially if your joints swell at night.
This is not a magic fix for your wrist/arm issues. I am not a medical professional or a personal trainer. Do get help if you have pain that lasts more than a week, or at a severity that it impacts your daily life, or makes it hard to pick up objects.
Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.
