What do you guys do in each break of full time comic making?

Ah I'm so sorry for your wrist condition! I hope your wrist will be better and heal asap! But tbh in my case if I count the hours I draw it'd be only 5-6 hours a day(and I'm not working and not in school atm) since I take break every so often! Maybe i'm not experienced enough to take atleast a break every two hours or so, yeah I'll just go along with this pace and hope I'd be able to take longer time without so many break in the future.

I have taken a lot of breaks like portfolio art and animations since i was able to get a good buffer but I finally just gave up and now trying to complete my buffer so I now have complete free time since I absolutely hate to have the possibility of being busy with something else or having a job and having to return to my comic haha. It takes way too much free time just to complete a few pages.

I workout or read as a break. These activities get my mind off of the web comic. If I take a break without changing what I'm thinking about, I don't feel like continuing to work on my web comic. I return to making the web comic, after I have been focusing on something else.

True, but if it's important to you then you have to make time time to do the things you enjoy.

Yes! Buffer is very important isn't it? I'm also currently working on buffer before publishing since i don't have the professional speed to make an entire chap every week.

Omg same! I also like to read to get my mind off the panels I'm working on ahahaha. It has to be something entirely different.

@LT1986 There was this article I read recently that has been haunting me: That sitting too long can degrade your memory, and ability to retain information (it weakens a certain membrane in the brain). So, getting up and exercising is super important! I think more people should take the advice of going out and taking a walk or something between breaks. Especially since it breaks up screen time, too!
