I'm an art student and I'm afraid if I have essential tremor?

It seems like essential tremor and I read it's generally progressive.. If I have ET how I can draw? :/

If you turn out to have it, and it does interfere in your ability to draw, you may be able to find some other form of art to express yourself. I am sure you can't be the only artist that has had this issue. Why not google to see what others in your situation have done to cope? They may have already found a way to work around it, even if it is by taking part in a different type of art.

Actually I want to become an animator, but now have to study traditional art and I have to draw with pencil.. I think it is difficukt to change my style...

Instead of making yourself insane and writing on an online forum - why not go to a doctor?

As a fellow art student and a person with tremors (not ET, but tremors nonetheless) I feel for you. I have a friend who has severe tremors and he draws with two hands. It takes him longer to complete a drawing but he is still a brilliant and talented artist. I'm not sure what can be done for ET, but it's definitely worth talking to a doctor about.

Thanks for answers, this gave me some hope :)

Did you already consult a doctor? He, or a specialist are the only ones to give the correct analysis.

I had tremors b4 but they were due to really bad dehydration I didn't realize I had. I don't know if that would help but it's a tip!

Did you see a doctor?

No, but I will. I just panicked a little :/
