Okay, so after searching through the forums for a proper place to put this, and junk posting all over the place, I'm finally just going to sit down and ask what I came here to ask. Although I'm not sure if this is the right forum, so feel free to move it if it isn't u_u
Does anybody have any experience or advice concerning fine motor skills? My writing has always been atrocious, like absolutely horrid - at about 10th grade I said screw trying to get better, and my senior year everything was typed up.
However - I am also taking an interest in art, or well, practicing quite a lot (Although not getting too far yet,), and my main problem is lack of fine motor skills.
Like my speech skills, I do have issues with them, but I don't really qualify for therapy, so I've been stuck with finding makeshift methods for both. (I have for the former, but not for motor skills, unfortunately.) But when I googled the problem, all I fond was solutions for children - and I have better hand skills than that, but not as much as I'd like. It's also worth noting sometimes I feel like the muscles in my fingers are.. weak (which I don't know if you're even supposed to tell just by 'feeling' that. Not running my fingers over my hand, but rather they just kinda feel weak, so basically internal feeling.)
I can definitely feel my fingers feel a bit different after drawing something really hard (aka my brain won't listen to me and I have to redraw a line several times, and then that process repeats several more times. It can be stressful for me, and I have to learn to just go with lines even if they look bad sometimes) or after a long period of drawing, but it's a good feeling, kinda like being sore after a workout, but to a lesser degree.
So if anybody has any experience, or any advice or really anything concerning the topic (including if any of ya'll have issues with it, and experiences with it, etc), I'd love to hear it c:
