You're a cartoonist. You take care of yourself to prevent drawing injuries. You do your stretches, take regular breaks, and draw with perfect posture. What happens? You start experiencing pain when you draw anyway! A perfect example of bad things happening to good people. What should you do? Go to the doctor if it's serious. But, if it's a minor injury, go to your bookshelf and start reading Draw stronger! This little tome can be used to help reduce discomfort until you see a healthcare professional, or it can provide guidelines for managing mild drawing injuries that don't require medical attention. Explore Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation Therapy (R.I.C.E. Therapy) from the perspective of a committed drawer, learn some tips for understanding your pain, avoid worsening your injuries, and more!

Un manual en forma de cómic sobre las causas y posibles soluciones de los dolores musculares que nos suelen aquejar. Está enfocado específicamente en los dibujantes, pero cualquier persona que se la pase más de ocho horas en la misma postura (por ejemplo, frente a una computadora o una caja registradora) puede beneficiarse con los ejercicios que aparecen en este libro. Claro, el primer paso es siempre consultar a un profesional de la medicina.
