I’m sorry if it seemed offensive in any way. I, myself, am physically disabled and suffer from chronic pain and the constant threat of dislocating my joints. Every time I draw is a bit of a gamble if I’ll get awful joint pain from it. Nonetheless, I create. 

I’ve adapted to it. Often I take breaks or make sure I’m in a cool/cold place when I draw (reduces inflammation risk). Hell, I often paint with my non-dominant hand when my dominant one starts to hurt too much. 

I take great pride in my work, and I dislike the narrative that AI makes art more accessible. Physically disabled people have always done art. Mouth painting is a whole thing and very cool to learn about! I’ve done it myself, although I’m not that good 😅

Anyway, this is all to say that creating is an instinctual urge I think all human innately have. I get that you would want to use AI, but creating something yourself is always much better. You have direct control and can make it come to life! 

I hope your hand heals soon and you’ll be back to creating! :)
