Hey! Sorry about your RSI...

I was mistaken when I suggested the overhand grip, so if and when you are ready to get back into it, the "drumstick grip" might do the trick.

Using this, your fingers should not really move, since you use your elbow and shoulder to draw this way. To get used to this, you have to use something like 18 x 24 inch paper on an easel or a drawing board resting on your knees, since it requires your paper to be more at a vertical angle.

Have a good recovery!

Hey! Are you by any chance drawing with the tripod grip rather than the overhand grip?

Personally when I use the overhand grip I don't really need by index finger so maybe you would find success by using this grip with your right hand. This does mean that you would have to use larger paper and that you would need to draw with your shoulder/elbow instead of the wrist.

Other than that, keep practicing! I'm definitely seeing some improvements in your drawings!

Hey guys, thank you so much for the advice! I've been working hard this week to improve, so here is where I'm at currently

I will take any advice I can get to improve these:
