It might be useful to consider the eyes' health for people new (or old?) to drawing. Maybe it's just me, I do have somewhat sensitive eyes. Or I might be doing it wrong, but every time I look at something closely, I end up with stressed/tired eyes experiencing pain. Eye exercises and drops help, but maybe some sort of eye muscles need to be built :). Eye sight too might be an area to add to drawer's health. (I've seen seamstresses, knitters etc. making experiencing similar eye challenges.) I am curious to hear what others do w.r.t their eyes :)
Good point, Beenish, I know that feeling too. You can try this: rub your hands vigorously to energize them. Then close your eyes and gently place your hands over them for a few minutes.
There are some really great eye exercises that help me a lot.As a bespeckled person for eons, they are most helpful. I don't think link sharing is allowed so maybe I can suggest searching for" eye exercises you can do at home". The best resource link is from optometrists org. I hope this is acceptable and helps soothe the tired eyes of those in need.
Thank you, Wendy! As someone experiencing the tinglings of carpal tunnel at 39 (!!!!) from hardcore stitching marathons without breaks 🤦♀️ , I appreciate this! It’s all too easy to get in the zone when you’re so engaged. Thanks 10 minute timer! (If only I could stop crocheting after 10!)

Really good point, Beenish. My eyes aren’t working so well these days either.

I believe you can add a link, so give it a try. I could use those exercises.

As a musician/singer this is also incredibly important.
