My artstyle feels very stunted as of late

For a month or so I’ve been in a weird funk where all my art feels ‘samey.’ I feel like I’ve got colors down pretty well, but when it comes to things like faces and EYES I start to get stuck and unsatisfied with my work.

Mainly I’m just looking for things to try to switch up, rather than directly ‘improve’ upon, if that makes sense?

What are y’all’s desk setups?

My current desk setup isn’t very sustainable w/recent flair ups, right now the most comfortable position is awkwardly slouching with my feet/legs up high against the wall & the rest of my body twisted to use my keyboard. It is as uncomfortable as it sounds, but I can usually be up at my desk for longer periods when I sit like this. It’s totally going to fuck my back up, though.

A lot of my pain concentrates in my wrists/hand and my elbows and knees. On good days I can be up on my computer focused on one task for long enough to not be in pain (or at least put it aside). On bad days I can’t even be at my desk.

I try to take breaks and stretch or get in bed as needed, but I know there’s better I could do for myself to prevent any worsening pain. Any tips and anecdotes would do me wonders, thank you!
