It seems to be a quite common problem - both amongst expert and younger artists: shaking hands. My impression: possibly 50 % of us all have suffered difficulties with their arm shaking too excessively for painting more than one time.

Therefore i did this collection of how-to's on how to overcome trembling hands or even how to get accustomed to it, if it cannot be stopped.

However I've got to say this first: in case you have trembling hands often and haven't done so previously: go and see your doctor!

Often trembling hands tend to be practically nothing a bit more sleeping or reducing caffeine can not mend (later on more on this). But trembling hands can also be the sign of a number of severe health issues that need qualified treatment.

That said, let's consider some natural remedies for shaking hands. Needless to say it is always a good idea to live more healthy.

So first reduce your coffee intake. And do the same for any drinks which contain caffeine like cola.

Next always make sure you get sufficient sleep. Based on your physical constitution eight hours per day certainly are a excellent rule of thumb. Also a quick nap right after lunch can work like a charm, too!

I'm certain that you do not consume very much alcohol as this might aggravate your shaking, too. Just for the sake of completeness: drink alcohol only occasionally and moderately.

Possibly this is a somewhat unexpected discovery to you: trembling hands could possibly be the reaction of a exorbitant sugar intake (often in combination with too much caffeine). Therefore replace the sugars with more healthy food such as vegatables and fruits.

And then it will help you if you get much more active. This could be regular physical exercises as well as becoming a member of the local sports club as well as taking longer walks.

Also a reduced level of Magnesium might cause muscle tightness resulting in trembling hands. A tell tale sign is if you get hic-ups or cramps. Thus make sure to consume ample vegetables as well as salad everyday so that you have more magnesium.

And then if you are under medication this may be a factor, too. In this instance - again: consult your physician. He may offer an strategy how to fine-tune your medication to reduce the shaking.

But what if you can't decrease the shaking sufficiently in order to sketch without having problems?

Then you can certainly apply the following tricks to sketch regardless of shaking hands:

First you will find in any nicely equipped art supply store so called drawing 'brigdes' - these are typically small bridge shaped shelves made from wood or acrylic. You position them across your drawing so that you can rest your arm and stabilize your hand. The only disadvantage: you can't perform those extended and sweeping motions.

Second you may develop your drawing style in a direction where you don't need to sketch excellent aspects in great precision. Therefore you learn to get a looser more flowing and much more forgiving style.

Lastly you can think about utilizing stencils, french curves and rulers.

Most vital: don't get disheartened. Just imagine: old Charles M. Schulz (the inventor of Charlie Brown and Snoopy) had Parkinson. Nevertheless he was able to adapt and compensate the shaking so he didn't quit drawing his comic strips up to the point he retired (at age 77!).
