Yesterday marked the end of my third week of physical therapy. This has mostly consisted of a series of really awesome massages coupled with advice for stretching and posture. The result is that for the first time in years I was able to sit down and do some drawing without any symptoms at all.

Now, I can feel that I’m not completely healed. The muscles that we’ve been loosening up to allow for this recovery are tightening again, but I can now stretch them into a semblance of a normal relaxed state. And, I need to configure all of my work spaces to better accommodate good posture. So, there are definitely follow up sessions in order and some further coaching needed. And then I should probably keep up a regimen of maintenance massage therapy sessions going for the length of my career. But, I’m starting to feel genuinely optimistic about my future in cartooning again.
Now I just need to relearn how to draw again. Proportions, perspective, anatomy, expression…
Anybody got any good ideas about how I should draw outer space?
