Full Resolution Pics #148 / Getting Better

Sooooo..... I'm back!!! Kind of!! Well, I've never left, but there are great news and for that reason I'm sharing these news to all my Patreons and not only for those who wants to get Full Resolution Pics. (Despite I'm also posting part of this post on my public journals, but here I am also inclduing messages for all of you)

As you may see, I'm drawing again with my right hand, I'm not at 100% yet, my arm/wrist keeps hurting a little bit from time to time, but not as intense as before, so all the therapies, medicine, visits to many specialists and exercises have worked very well. I still have the Teres Pronator Syndrome, I still can get Carpal Tunnel, I'm still visiting doctors and physiotherapist, but they were those who indeed recommended me to start drawing again, in very short amounts of times per day and in short lapses, resting a lot, and keep doing the exercises that it seems I will keep doing fro life. But definitely it has been a huge improvement, and I can notice it in my emotional mood.

It was definitely a rough time, and a time to get a lot of knowledge about life, goals, purposes and especially patience. It's not over yet, like nothing in this life we'll always keep working, improving, having diseases, falling down, getting up, and fighting till the end of our times. What we need to fight the most is to live in metal peace, to accept many things in ourselves and our surroundings, helping ourselves and helping others to live peacefully in this world, and despite knowing there will be eventually bad times again, never stop searching for happiness, so that way bad times will last shorter and will affect us lesser and lesser.

I couldn't draw almost anything in the past 3 months, according how was my regular working schedule before this started. because indeed I kept drawing at least with my left hand, those left hand practices surprised me a really lot, since before every time I tried to draw anything with my non-dominant hand it ended up in disaster. I will keep practicing from time to time with my left hand, the idea of being ambidextrous catches very well my attention (I promise I won't use this new skill for double work, as many have already mentioned me, hehe).

I don't want to resume work yet, maybe a week more of small practices and keep getting used of my new slow drawing pace, but all the drawings I want to do these upcoming days are drawings for myself, I didn't want to go directly to Patreon rewards and commissions, of course I will do those because I need to resume my regular for living activity. But definitely I need to slow down absolutely everything, so be patient with me for all your rewards, I don't want to resume receiving new Patreon rewards yet because that will add me a lot of stress, I want to finish all the current queue that I have on my Trello board before start receiving new ones, and definitely I need to receive way less than before.

But remember if you consider you need Patreon rewards from me that I haven't added to my current queue, and you consider fair that I add you something in there, don't hesitate to fill this form, for real! I don't want to be unfair with anyone, especially with all of you who have been especially helping me during these rough times:

I really wish nobody get to go through what I got to live, to stop doing what I love to do the most in my life for some months, I even got to think I was not going to draw ever again and that scared me a lot. So something important I want to let you know, especially if you are an artist, you paint, you draw, you play music, you write, or even you work a lot on your computer: Take many breaks, for more passion you get on what you do, give yourself as many breaks as you want; stretch your body, your hands, your fingers; go and do some exercise; get better eating habits; don't go out immediately you stopped working, you also need to take care for your eyes;  if you start feeling pain, it's your body who is asking you to take a break, pay attention to it; if the pain continues for many days, stop working and check with a doctor.

And once again, thank you so much for your kindness and support, you have no idea how grateful I am with all of you for allowing me to survive with a lot of calm and patience during this time, we need money to survive and if we suddenly don't work for 3 months we're doomed, but all this time I was kind of tight surviving with money that I was receiving during these months from Patreon so I'm truly thankful with all of you more than ever. For real, I'm not kidding, if you ever need something from me I'm gonna try my best to help you as long as it is in my paws. Poke me anytime you want if you want to chat with me, I may take a lot to reply sometimes because I don't want to live only on internet, but I always try to reply. If you see me at an event, a furry convention, or by casually, don't hesitate to say hi, to give me a hug, I'm just a regular dude (a little bit shy and fighting myself not to be awkwardly quiet), I'm a regular furry, a very trashy furry, I really love the furry fandom, despite it has given me sometimes anxiety, anger, traumas, depression...but in the bright side, it has given me all of you, it was thanks to the fandom I have my current new family, it has given me all of you, it has given me the best friends I could never ask for, and definitely many of the best times in my life.

Never stop sharing happiness with the world! Especially during these times most of us need it!

And...talking about the full resolution pictures of this month! I'm attaching them on the ZIP file on this post, I put as post cover that first drawing I got to do with my right hand after not doing it for three months, so that simple sketch of the raccoon eating chocolate coins (don't give chocolate to raccoons! they will definitely eat it and it's not healthy for them) is very important to me, it means like a new start.

Also I'm attaching some other pictures, two of them are unpublished, I haven't shared them anywhere yet, and those were done before my real pain on my arm/wrist started, but I didn't want to post them back then, so probably I will post them eventually.

Also I'm attaching a drawing that I did on March 2013 ( https://www.furaffinity.net/view/10066536/ ) , 10 years ago, just as an extra so I'm giving you 5 pictures and not only 4 (we people tend to like multiples of 5, it would be so different if we were real cartoons with only 4 fingers)

Aaaand...that's it, I think!!
Remember this panda loves you and appreciates you a lot!

I really hope you all have a great day, thank you for reading me, thank you once again for your support, and thank you for being part of my life!

Paco.
