The sketches stop abruptly because I’ve developed an RSI (repetitive strain injury) through overuse of a laptop. I don’t think drawing and painting is the cause, but I am abstaining for a few weeks to give the tendons chance to recover - I am typing this one handed. I hope my arm recovers soon because not being able to draw and paint is driving me crazy.
