Is it normal to lose muscle memory after not drawing for a week? It's like my hand can't remember the level of pressure needed to actually draw. It could be my tablet I guess but what could've possibly happened to it, it's not like it fell or got crushed or something. My finger pressure works fine, the tablet registers hover movement of my tablet, but I really have to press harder than I think I was pressing to draw. God damn.
>>7964826That happens with literally every skill that requires manual dexterity yes
>>7964826autistic skill regression unironically
>>7964826>Is it normal to lose muscle memory after not drawing for a week?No.
>>7964830>>7964849Who do I trust?>>7964833Huh
Draw random stuff elsewhere until you get comfortable again.
>>7964890You should trust me
>>7964826yeah. you lose some dexterity if you don't draw for a couple of days. you can get it back quickly.
>>7964826this is why digital drawing is so hard. you have to basically refresh your settings after every break. I suggest drawing with multiple brushes until you find the comfortable one.
>>7964826you have goldfish brain and goldfish muscles lmao
>>7965004true. I go an entire year not driving semi trucks and pick it back up in like a couple hours. Sucks to only have shitting in a pan and jerking it as your skillset
>>7964826>>7964830>>7964997>>7965003You niggers literally don't draw enough if one week makes you feel like the drawing equivalent of a newborn attempting to walk over and over again.
>>7965028Yeah I'm starting to think there's something wrong with my pen. I'll buy another and hope the tablet itself isn't dying after 2 years/I'm a victim of planned obsolescence/some freak accident happened when I was away and it fell and was replaced or maybe a bug crawled in there I have no idea
>>7965028What? No one said that you lose ALL skill and go back to prebeg or something. But if you take more than a few days off you will notice the rust and have to spend a few hours shaking it off. Any musician or athlete will tell you the same thing
>>7964826Doesn't matter too much if you're a digital cuck because we all know you do >Control + Zspam. Now if you were a tradKing then yeah it matters more. But not really for a week. One good warmup session and you're good to go. Not drawing for months and losing clarity of the shapes you need to make is far worse than losing dexterity skill.Int > Dex
>>7964826tonight i was running on 1 hour of sleep, after 2 hours of intense physical activity and >24 hours awake, i felt like my hand eye coordination regressed to when i first started drawing, thats apparently what being drunk feels likei think these things impact stupid people less
>>7965219post a video of what you think "ctrl z spam" looks like
>>7964826usually half an hour of gesture/doodling is enough to loosen me up and get me back in the groove after a break. Just fuck around a bit and it'll come back.
>>7965216>Any musicianWrong. You don't lose any skill or muscle memory after a week without playing. Many beginners even manage to progress by playing only on weekends (though, a little everyday is better than a lot every weekend).A guitarist can stop playing for a whole year, and still get the guitar and start playing normally. You lose your calluses before your muscle memory starts to fail you.As matter of fact, if you lose muscle memory in a week, you never had any in the first place. In drawing this is a bigger deal, because people don't draw as much as they think they do, specially compared to practitioners of other activities.Basically: DRAW MORE, YOU BITCHES. I stopped drawing for a decade, and when I got the pen again and went for ellipses, my hand instantly did the ghost movement without me thinking. I was like "oh yeah, we can do ghost movements before the real movement".
