Thanks for the replies everyone!! Would've responded sooner but I got kinda busy yesterday.
@mrjonzap This is actually the setup I had at work for a long time and it worked out, but I don't think I could do it at home
the biggest problem is the keyboard. my desk has a keyboard tray, the keyboard is wired, and the desk isn't wide enough for me to have it behind the cintiq and still be able to type normally. Guess I just need a new desk D: I did have one question though, if your cintiq is right at the edge of your desk, how do you support your elbow while drawing? Is there just enough room in front of the screen to set your elbow down?
@Shanny8 Seconded on the L shape desk, I think having that corner would help me a lot too! Wouldn't be able to have one in my current room though, it's too tiny.
@punkarsenic Lower than your pelvis, huh? I actually don't quite understand how, like do I have to sit at the edge of my seat so my knees drop down? I sit funny too though, I switch a lot between sitting normally and crossing my legs just because it feels more natural to me. So I need chairs wide enough to accommodate that ahahaha;;;
