Today, I found out that the lump in my wrist that keeps getting inflamed and sore is caused by sketching and using my laptop too much. Good thing I'm in my fourth year of studying to become a designer. FML

From sketching... Is that what they're calling it these days?

Yea. We all know what "using the laptop" really means, too.

Whenever my wrist gets sore, I just switch hands. Or have someone else take over.

There are actually stretches/exercises you can do to strengthen your wrists for drawing! If you google it you should be able to find some, and it might help

I've got tendonitis in both wrists as a 3rd year design student from being on the computer too much. I've had it for 6 months now so I feel your pain.

Don't lean on your wrist its bad for you as you've already found out. Mastering that would also improve your technique in drawing (and using the peripherals apparently).
